URxvt does not recognize Ctrl-Arrow or Ctrl-v combinations

This issue is driving me crazy. Whenever I press Ctrl-Arrow the terminal just blinks! The same happens with Ctrl-v, which I don't use as often, but I wanted to see which codes were being produced when pressing Ctrl-Arrow.

I definitely know that this is a URxvt issue because XTerm works flawlessly. Using the Ctrl-v method on XTerm I can see that Ctrl-Arrow combinations produce [1;5C and [1;5D. Oddly enough, if I press Ctrl-v twice on URxvt I get ^V, but then it doesn't show me the key codes.

I even added this to my .Xresources (and did xrdb -merge .Xresources):

URxvt.keysym.Control-Up:    \033[1;5A
URxvt.keysym.Control-Down:  \033[1;5B
URxvt.keysym.Control-Left:  \033[1;5D
URxvt.keysym.Control-Right: \033[1;5C
URxvt.keysym.Control-v:         \026

without any results whatsoever... Here is my full .Xresources:

I'm using ZPrezto, I don't know if it is interfering or something... But, as I said, on XTerm it works well!

I would think so -- <Ctrl>+v and <Ctrl>+<Arrow> work fine on rxvt-unicode in my system (grml-zsh-config only).

Are you declaring $TERM in any of your shell profiles?

Re: URxvt does not recognize Ctrl-Arrow or Ctrl-v combinations

Used the OP's .Xresources

C-left and C-right just move the tabs, as per the tabbed extension. Doesn't matter if I press them after C-v or without it.
C-v C-up produces [[1;5A and C-v C-down gives ]]1;5B.
Without the tabbed extension, C-v C-arrow give the keycodes.

C-v C-v gives me ^V

Re: URxvt does not recognize Ctrl-Arrow or Ctrl-v combinations

Wow, I feel dumb. I had not tried with more than one tab! So actually Ctrl-Arrow is mapped to change tab, as is Shift-Arrow. Thanks!

Since the wiki suggests urxvt-tabbedex I now use that one, instead of the default tabbed. However I can't manage to unbind Ctrl-Arrow keys. As per the wiki, I set

URxvt.tabbed.no-tabbedex-keys: true

but it isn't working. I think I'll end up commenting out the relevant lines of code:
https://github.com/stepb/urxvt-tabbedex … bedex#L558

Ugly solution, but at least it'll work until I find a better solution. Any ideas?

Re: URxvt does not recognize Ctrl-Arrow or Ctrl-v combinations

Did you merge the .Xresources. Just to be sure.
I tried the tabbedex plugin, and 

URxvt.tabbed.no-tabbedex-keys: true

unbinds all the tabbedex keys, including the C-<arrow> .Please post your new .Xresources.

Maybe try this fork? https://github.com/mina86/urxvt-tabbedex
According to comments in AUR, this seems to be better maintained.

Re: URxvt does not recognize Ctrl-Arrow or Ctrl-v combinations

Damn, I screwed up.
I downloaded the file and placed it in /usr/lib/urxvt/perl but somehow it simply does not work. If I add the tabbedex plugin I lose the tab topbar. The old tabbed plugin still works though. I cannot think of why this happened!

Re: URxvt does not recognize Ctrl-Arrow or Ctrl-v combinations

Did you try the AUR package for the tabbedex plugin https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/urxvt-tabbedex-git/  ?
Do not simply put the file in extensions dir as it requires patching (I think) to work properly.

Re: URxvt does not recognize Ctrl-Arrow or Ctrl-v combinations

Ok, I managed to get it back properly. However,

URxvt.tabbed.no-tabbedex-keys: true

does not have any effect.

Here is my updated .Xresources:
