Change key bindings to fix Control+Shift problem in Terminator #11
Description
I am using the Terminator terminal and everything I've tried works well except for the commands to select next / previous word (control+shift+right and control+shift+left). The shift+direction commands are working fine, and I can select lines by using shift+up. Furthermore, the control+s and control+q bindings work fine. However, the control+shift combinations I tried didn't work.
I tried cloning the git repo, editing the bindings/default file to replace control with alt in the bindings to select next / previous word. I then recompiled the program with autoconf configure.ac, sudo sh ./configure, sudo make, and sudo make install.
Still, when I use dit in Terminator I can't select next/previous word. This issue isn't present when using Gnome terminal.

@MaxPleaner Are ctrl-shift arrows used by Terminator (switching tabs, I assume)? Can you reconfigure it to not use these keys?
The code I uploaded to Git this week supports alt-arrows (tested on Linux only), though in a clumsy way: you have to specify them as ALT_A, ALT_B, ALT_C, ALT_D in your bindings/default file (I know, I'll fix that).

imho recompiling isn't necessary when chaning the
bindings/defaultfile. After installing they are located in/usr/share/dit/bindings/default(on my arch linux system) and open dynamically heredit/dit.c

For example, changing to
CTRL_Kfor deleting a line works fine (instead of F8).hishamhm commentedon Oct 25, 2016
That's correct :)
