I am using Putty -> Suse box -> vim 7.2 combo for editing and want to remap Ctrl + arrows combo to a particular task. But for some reason, Vim ignores the shortcut and goes into insert mode and inserts character “D” (for left) of “C” (for right).
I am looking for an explanation of what happens in Linux when this key combination is pressed to change the current terminal.
