I am used to using Ctrl-Left Arrow/Ctrl-Right Arrow to move quickly word-by-word on the Bash command line. I kept having an issue with it not working in Mac OS X, however.

Finally I dug in and found out the problem: you need to map the key sequence Terminal.App sends for Ctrl-Left/Right Arrow to forward-word and backward-word.  Here’s how to do it; add these lines to your ~/.inputrc file (create the file if it doesn’t already exist):

”\e[5C”: forward-word
”\e[5D”: backward-word
”\e[1;5C”: forward-word
”\e[1;5D”: backward-word

and that should do it.

A friend asked me to share something I made years ago when meetings were getting very inefficient.  We could turn it on on a computer to remind us of the cost of either having the wrong people in the room or not making decisions.  I thought I’d share it. I toyed with allowing you to enter the salary etc. but that’s not in there now.
