I got your X-fu and my X-fu working (trying one, then the other) so both ways work, doing the following: Update the Xresources and inputrc files as appropriate. Start a new xterm. This xterm won't work - even running the following command is not enough to make this new xterm work: xrdb -load ~/.Xresources; bind ~/.inputrc However, even with NOT running the above command, open a new xterm from that xterm, then the new xterm (the third, as I was editing the files in the first), DOES work (for C-Left and C-Right). I am not yet able to test logging out and logging back in or reboot - I'm guessing that will also do the trick, however for the time being, I usually work in a screen session, and that is now working regardless. It seems xrdb -load and bind are not working as advertised in their respective manuals. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
