Hi Brian,

I tried these keystrokes on vt1, and they aren't bound to anything, either
on the command line or in Vim. One thing to note is that this behavior
works fine in the terminal (Gnome Terminal) itself; if you type a few words
in to the terminal and use these keystrokes, you'll notice that the cursor
moves one word per stroke. Maybe it's this behavior I was previously using?

Many thanks,
--Robin
