It seems to be done adding to /etc/console-setup/remap.inc also:
keycode 15 = Tab F91
alt keycode 15 = Meta_Tab
shift alt keycode 15 = F92
# backtab and M-backtab
string F91 = "\033[Z"
string F92 = "\033\033[Z"
and then run, again,
# dpkg-reconfigure console-setup ; dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Summing up, in order to enable Ctrl-arrows and Shift-Tab in tty* consoles:
append to /etc/console-setup/remap.inc the follwoing code:
# Ctrl-arrow keys need to send the same codes as in X/xterm.
Control keycode 105 = F51
string F51 = "\033[1;5D"
Control keycode 106 = F52
string F52 = "\033[1;5C"
Control keycode 108 = F53
string F53 = "\033[1;5B"
Control keycode 103 = F54
string F54 = "\033[1;5A"
# Alt-space may as well produce a space rather than
# nul Meta_nul or Meta_space
alt keycode 57 = F41
string F41 = " "
keycode 15 = Tab F91
alt keycode 15 = Meta_Tab
shift alt keycode 15 = F92
# backtab and M-backtab
string F91 = "\033[Z"
string F92 = "\033\033[Z"
, and in ~/.inputrc the following:
# Ctrl-Right arrow
"\e[1;5C": forward-word
# Ctrl-Left arrow
"\e[1;5D": backward-word
, then run
# dpkg-reconfigure console-setup ; dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
