Bug#421734: libvte9: shift+arrows outputs garbage instead of going to prev/next word

[Yves-Alexis Perez]

Package: libvte9
Version: 1:0.16.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I have an issue in vte since some time (I don't know if it's since the
switch to libvte9, but it could be). When using xfce4-terminal or tilda
(and I guess gnome-terminal but don't really want to pull
gnome-control-center just to test), in vim (for example typing this bug
report), I used to use Shift+Arrows (left/right) to go to previous and
next word. It still works in uxterm, but in vte-based terminal, it
outouts:

1;2C
1;2D

If you need any help, please ask.

Regards,
