it's different on my keyboard, too. see below.

on my keyboard it's ESC-f <forward> and ESC-b <backward> which i
don't like. seems klutzy. ctl-arrow would be much more sexful.
try this:
press ctl-v
press leftarrow
voila, there's your key sequence for left-arrow. now try it
again, with a variation:
press ctl-v
press CTL-leftarrow [holding control down]
is that the same as it was without control? it wasn't on my
setup. it's different for each modifier and for each combination
of modifiers!
here's the results of my own tests -- your setup may be
different:
# leftarrow shift alt ctl
# ^[[D - - -
# ^[[2D +shift - -
# ^[[3D - +alt -
# ^[[4D +shift +alt -
# ^[[5D - - +ctl
# ^[[6D +shift - +ctl
# ^[[7D - +alt +ctl
# ^[[8D +shift +alt +ctl
#
# uparrow = ^[[A -- ^[[8A
# downarrow = ^[[B -- ^[[8B
# rightarrow = ^[[C -- ^[[8C
also learn about page-up & -down, home, end, insert and delete.
very cool.
