I was still waiting for your answer to this question: >>And when you start an xterm, and run there an unpatched nano, >>do Ctrl-Left/Right work there?

But there is a problem. Your xfce4-terminal generates for Ctrl-Right the same code as the pantheon-terminal for Ctrl-Down. So, when I accept this patch into nano, it would mean that on a pantheon-terminal both Ctrl-Right and Ctrl-Down do a 'nextword'. That's a bit weird. But more importantly, it would mean that I then can't give new meanings to Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-Down (which currently don't do anything special, just the same as Up and Down. Also, I've tried this on an old KDE Konsole, and that terminal produces 0x203 and 0x205 for Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right -- still other codes. Do all terminals produce different codes? I have to find out first. And I need to understand where these codes come from. I haven't been able to find them in the source of xfce4-terminal nor of pantheon-terminal. Nor are the defined anywhere in ncurses. So... do I simply have to try all kinds of terminals and add all those codes to nano? Puzzles... For now you can use your patched nano, no?
