Bash CTRL to move cursor between words/strings

Question

I am use to using the CTRL key to move faster when using the left and right arrow keys (goes to end of a word, instead of one char at a time).

Can I do

Answer 1

A .inputrc in your home directory will cause ctrl+left to stop working on Ubuntu (for example).

To get everything working, add the following to ~/.inputrc:

# Include system-wide inputrc, which is ignored by default when
# a user has their own .inputrc file.
$include /etc/inputrc
