OK, I've taken the 'trouble' of looking into the source for linedit,
in particular the command-keys.lisp file, and have seen that the
functions i was looking for are implemented just not using the keys i
expected. It would be interesting to know why
CTRL-any-arrow-direction-key causes a hang tho.

Any chance of getting home+end ctrl-arrow keys working in linedit by
default?

Cheers, James.
