What is the analogue of CTRL + ARROW in cygwin bash?

Question

In Windows applications in general, we can step over words by using CTRL+ -> to step right and CTRL + <- to step left. But in Bash, those combinations print 3C and 3D correspondingly. Is there the analogue of such combination in Cygwin Bash at all?

Answer 1

It depends on the shell, terminal, and your .initrc, but by default, Alt + F for forward and Alt + B for backward should work.

Check forward-word and backward-word in bind -p.
