Some escape sequences associated to konsole in /etc/inputrc are wrong. All the versions of baselayout have this problem CTRL+left arrow = ^[[1;5D CTRL+rigth arrow = ^[[1;5C
Created attachment 218633 [details, diff] inputrc.diff Proposed patch
@kde, please, could you confirm this bug/fix and then reassign the issue on baselayout maintainers. @Fabio, do you have additional links/source code sniplets/steps to reproduce to confirm this issue?

But if I use the trick described in the header of /etc/inputrc, using konsole, to discover the escape sequences I got the two values described in my patch and not the values used in the standard /etc/inputrc
that's because the kde ctrl+arrow is the same as an earlier entry something isnt right as it says: # konsole (alt + arrow key) "\e[1;3C": forward-word "\e[1;3D": backward-word # konsole (control + arrow key) "\e[1;3C": forward-word "\e[1;3D": backward-word they cant both be the same. since i added them and i dont recall why i did this, and i get the same result as Fabio from bash, i'll just delete the second set of entries.
The same is true for the following portion: # gnome-terminal (control + arrow key) "\e[1;5C": forward-word "\e[1;5D": backward-word This definition is redundant so also this part might be deleted
should be fixed in svn now http://sources.gentoo.org/baselayout?rev=3173&view=rev
