Well, in my xterm's I cannot use shift+left, shift+right and so on. If
I do, I get:

shift+left: 2D
shift+right: 2C
shift+up: 2A
shift+down: 2B
control+left: 5D
control+right: 5C
control+up: 5A
control+down: 5B

Pressing c-v before pressing the above key combination gives:

control-v shift+left: ^[[1;2D

and similar for the rest.

I don't know how to fix the above problem so that e.g. control+left
does what it used to (skip one word to the left).

Before upgrading to FC (from RH8) the whole thing worked fine.

Any suggestion will be appreciated. :-)

Well, it figures. Just after posting my problem I managed to solve
it. /etc/inputrc is at fault as it does not contain the following
lines:

"\e[1;5C": forward-word
"\e[1;5D": backward-word

These enable control+left/right to skip words using bash (readline).

This bugreport helped me:  :-)
