The obvious key binding does not work:
$ bind '"\C-\e[D":backward-word'
Neither does adding in various Meta combinations even after setting up
the (8 bit) meta flags.
Anyone know how to set this up in bash?
Thanks!

First you have to check what sequence of character CTRL-left actually
emits. Then put that sequence into the bind command.

Andreas Schwab "And now for something
I recently started using xdm to start X off, rather than startx.
However, without changing any of my bash start-up files, I now get a
different set of key-bindings under bash:
startx xdm
------------ ------------
"\C-c" == self-insert (nothing)
"\e-Backspace" = backward-kill-word ??
Anyone know what on earth is going on? I suspect something funny in
the startup procedure, but can't fathom what. I'm using SLS 1.02,
XFree-1.2 (bash/X/xdm/... from those). My .xsession and .xinitrc files
are identical (.xsession is a link to .xinitrc).
Perhaps related to (some of) the above, my 'Delete' key by default
produces ^H under X. To get it to work properly in emacs, I had the
following xmodmap in my .xinitrc (keycode 22 is my Delete key):
xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = Delete"
This worked for both emacs and bash when X was started with startx,
but with xdm bash sees the Delete key as an 'abort' or '^C' like key -
prints a new prompt, ignoring all previously typed input - and I can't
figure out quite what is going on.
