Though C-a, C-e, M-f, M-b and C-b works as in this documentation from Bash Reference Manual -- keybinds to edit command line; all of which moves the cursor, C-f -- the one to move the cursor to next letter -- does not; what am I missing?

I suspected that it is an issue by urxvt, as ctrl-f may be reserved for a certain shortcut.


Now appended these two lines to disable Perl extensions, two of which uses keybinds C-f and C-M-f:

URxvt.perl-ext:
URxvt.perl-ext-common:
1

I AM VERY SORRY I was a user of startx whose config file is ~/.xinitrc: it has a line xbindkeys whose config file is ~/.xbindkeysrc who has two lines

"xterm"
  c:41 + m:0x4

Then I made this to comment, which finally worked.
