Ctrl+Home/End not working in terminator/zsh

Hi, I'm switching to terminator from konsole due to resource consumption, among some things I've found out that Ctrl+Home or Ctrl+End didn't work (I use them in vim).
Other things didn't work either (home and end key from my laptop's keypad, but that's fixed)

Here's the oputput of some keypresses regarding those keys
Home key:
Konsole: ^[[H
Terminator: ^[[1~

End key
Konsole: ^[[F
Terminator: ^[[4~

These 2 show up as
Ctrl+Home
Konsole: ^[[1;5H
Terminator: ^[[1~

Ctrl+End
Konsole: ^[[1;5F
Terminator: ^[[4~

I'm reading that data by executing 'cat' and copying the output.
Any ideas what might be causing this? Tried with bash as well with no success (on Terminator).

Best regards,
T

What do you expect those keys to do?
Terminator's tab switch commands are tied to those two.

I couldn't find them in the keybindings. I expect them to go to the start/end of the file when using vim

Cheers,

These aren't vi{,m} binds...

I'm editing my first post, you're right I was referring to vim.
Thanks for pointing it out!

Tried to read keycodes with cat, but there's no output difference while pressing control or not

The key bindings aren't set for those keys in Terminator?

Nope, nothing related to Home/End nor KP Home/End
