Following from this post, I added CTRL+ ← and CLTR+ → functionality to my Ubuntu terminal to skip words by adding to .inputrc:
"\e[1;5C": forward-word
"\e[1;5D": backward-word
"\e[5C": forward-word
"\e[5D": backward-word
"\e\e[C": forward-word
"\e\e[D": backward-word
Now, I would like to skip words while highlighting them using: CTRL+SHIFT+ ← and CLTR+SHIFT+ →. Using cat, I see the hotkey should just change from ^[[1;5D to ^[[1;6D.
However: What is the equivalent keyword "forward-word-select"? Better yet -- where can I find a list of such available commands?
Bonus:
While cat for CTRL+Home gives ^[[1;5H and CTRL+End gives ^[[1;5F, CTRL+Shift+Home and CTRL+Shift+End give no output. How can I also add a binding to these key combinations (for similar selection-skip functionality)?
