The way it's solved for readline-dependent shells in Debian is by providing several relevant bindings in /etc/inputrc: # mappings for Ctrl-left-arrow and Ctrl-right-arrow for word moving "\e[1;5C": forward-word "\e[1;5D": backward-word "\e[5C": forward-word "\e[5D": backward-word "\e\e[C": forward

Yes, we recommend our users to keep their personal executables, like scripts, in ~/.local/bin. In hidden .local mainly because they need them available on the command line (on $PATH), and NOT USEFULLY VISIBLE in desktop file managers.
