@Karasuni - Does that happen in pure bash console or in extaned terminal (I don't know the exact term) like tmux? I don't use terminal programs like screen or tmux, use pure bash console, and... my ctrl+left and ctrl+right do nothing, ctrl+up and ctrl+down ring a bell. I think screenshot(s) of terminal window might be helpful to figure it out.

@Karasuni any chance I could have you comment out this line from the .tmux.conf file and tell me if it still happens?

set -s escape-time 10                     # faster command sequences

You'll need to make sure all tmux sessions are killed to reload the conf.

Hey @Karasuni

I'm finally getting back to trying to track down this bug. Is it still reproing for you? It looks like it was patched in IntelliJ's side, but if it's still happening for you in conhost that's another issue.

What happens when you press Ctrl+V, Ctrl+Arrow from the bash commandline?

Can you bind Alt+Arrow to other actions in your tmux.conf? For example, https://gist.github.com/spicycode/1229612#file-tmux-conf-L41-L45
If you're able to bind those keys and use them successfully, then I'd be super confused as to what's wrong.

Hey so this issue's from 2017, and the chances we'll be able to track down it's original repro are slim to none. We also haven't heard any other reports of it recently, so there's a good chance the original problem is gone. I'm going to mark it as "No-Recent-Activity" - if someone has an active repro we can investigate, that's great! Please comment here ASAP. Otherwise the bot will come through in a couple days.

EDIT: Turns out, adding the No-Recent-Activity label counts as activity? I've instead added "needs-author-feedback", which will cause the bot to add No-Recent-Activity, then close it.

Have you configured your inputrc to allow this? If not, this is not a bug.
