I think I resolved my Ctrl-arrow keys following this page: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CuaModeTerminalProblems Unless one is using an actual Linux VC the keymap information can be ignored. I added the stanza at the bottom of that page to my ~/.emacs-mail which is loaded only when calling Emacs from Mutt. I also added the TERM type of "screen-256color" to the list of "linux" and "xterm" so the Ctrl-arrow work through TMUX in Emacs. While that page is linked from the CUA page: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CuaMode it seems independent. That said, I did enable CUA mode so I get the familiar cut, copy, paste, undo keys. However, it appears that Xfce Terminal (others?) traps the Shift-arrow keys so as to enable line-by-line scrolling as with the default keymap of the Linux console. I should have done this long ago. :-D - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
