Subject:	Bash - bind Alt-Arrow keys
To:	cygwin AT cygwin DOT com
MIME-Version:	1.0

I want to bind \M-right and \M-left to forward-word
and backward-word respectively in bash.

I've tried the following in my .inputrc file:

# forward word
bind '"\M-\e[C":forward-word'

# backward word
bind '"\M-\e[D":backward-word'

It seems to work, but have some strange side affects. 
Specifically, the 'b' key no longer works.  

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Scott
