Ctrl + Left/Right to jump between words instead of vi/normal mode?

[mitomeo]

Before applying the theme, I could use Ctrl Left/Right or Alt B/F to jump between words. How can I achieve the same now? Thx

[agkozak]

The prompt is not intended to affect keybindings. Can you share your .zshrc with me? I might be able to identify what's going wrong.

[mitomeo]

Sure, here my zshrc run on urxvt

bindkey -v
bindkey '^R' history-incremental-search-backward

zstyle :compinstall filename '/home/ken/.zshrc'

autoload -Uz compinit

I suspect the real culprit is in your ~/.config/zsh_plugins.txt file. You might need to post that as well.

Do you really use Vim editing mode (bindkey -v)? Alt+F and Alt+B for forward-word and backward-word come from Emacs editing mode (bindkey -e), though there's nothing to stop you from using keybindings from both.

[mitomeo]

You are right, I should not have expected Alt + B/F to move between words in vim mode. So my concern now is Ctrl + Left/Right not working.
I use antibody as my plugin manager, so basically my zsh_plugins.txt:

zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions
zsh-users/zsh-completions
agkozak/agkozak-zsh-prompt
zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting

@mitomeo Can you try removing autosuggestions? That one is sometimes extra funky.
