I can workaround this by adding these to /etc/inputrc:

"\e[7~": beginning-of-line
"\e[8~": end-of-line
"\eOH": beginning-of-line
"\eOF": end-of-line
"\e[H": beginning-of-line
"\e[F": end-of-line


I am not sure if this is even bug in dvtm or something with curses. But it would be great to have it working out of box.

Sadly, I cannot make ctrl+arrow key to work..

Those things behave differently from setup to setup.  I can't reproduce your issue with tmux or st at all while in xterm, the C-arrow combo also behaves funny but the Home key is working alright.

This can be probably fixed in dvtm's terminfo.  I would suggest asking upstream; saying what terminal, application, and curses library won't hurt either :)

You are right. It's working in st. I use terminator but it's the same in lxterminal.

I'm going to close this bug.  If you still hit it even with the new releases, ask upstream for help.  I could act as a middle man in this conversation but it would just slow things down.
