Are you sure about that? What terminal/shell are you using? On all my
systems using bash whether in VT or xterm CTRL-B is like left cursor,
the partners to that are CTRL-F (right cursor), CTRL-P (up cursor),
CTRL-N (down cursor). These are mnemonic for back, forward, previous and
next.
CTRL-V allows you to enter a literal control character for display, i.e.
CTRL-V CTRL-M will put ^M on the screen. It's actually
, but I don't
know how well that'll come across in email.
Cheers,
Tom
