I just double-checked to make sure that I do not have this problem, and indeed I do not have the problem in TERM=linux nor in TERM=xterm. I did have previously some problems with the Ctrl and Alt keys, though. Namely in the xterm the Alt key was not operating properly and I had to adopt some kind of fix. More specifically, the Alt-s key combination, and such like things, did not work at all. Instead, one had to use Ctrl-s to get the same results. This was all very nice, but Alt-o mapped to Ctrl-o which has a meaning already, and so on. So, it was a bunch of nonsense. The above problem seems to have been related, essentially, to the problem that X has switched over to Unicode key maps. Just in case that the problem with Ctrl-End and Ctrl-Home is also related, here is what I had to do to fix my problem: Create a local .Xdefaults file in my home directory, with the following line in it XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true If this does not fix the weird problem then one might hope that perhaps something similar will.
