Use some bash cursor moment commands
Authored by: galaher on Jan 20, '06 10:43:15AM

You may also use some, but apparently not all, bash cursor moment commands to select in either direction. e.g. once keyboard selection has been invoked, 'control+a' selects backward to the beginning and or 'control+e' forward to the end of the line. 'control+f' selects one character forward and 'control+b' selects one character backwards. However, 'meta+f' and 'meta+b' cancels the selection instead of selecting one word at a time (I have the command key set to be the meta key).
