You might find the following key-bindings useful. Uncomment the ones
you need removing the leading double-quotes.

$ echo $TERM
xterm-color

>From ~/.vimrc:

" Valid names for keys are:  <Up> <Down> <Left> <Right> <Home> <End>
" <S-Left> <S-Right> <S-Up> <PageUp> <S-Down> <PageDown>  <LeftMouse>
"
" Many shells allow editing in "Emacs Style".
" Although I love Vi, I am quite used to this kind of editing now.
" So here it is - command line editing commands in emacs style:
  "cnoremap <C-A>      <Home>
  "cnoremap <C-B>      <Left>
" cnoremap <C-B>      <Del>
  "cnoremap <C-E>      <End>
  "cnoremap <C-F>      <Right>
  "cnoremap <C-N>      <End>
  "cnoremap <C-P>      <Up>
  "cnoremap <ESC>b     <S-Left>
  "cnoremap <ESC><C-B> <S-Left>
  "cnoremap <ESC>f     <S-Right>
  "cnoremap <ESC><C-F> <S-Right>
  "cnoremap <ESC><C-H> <C-W>

  imap <C-A> <ESC>I
  imap <C-E> <ESC>A
  nmap <C-A> ^
  nmap <C-E> $

  imap <Esc>[3~ <C-H>
  imap ^?       <C-H>
