My apologies, Feodor; that earlier answer spoke to the first part of
your question but not the second.

For the second part -- switching between windows (the Screen 'next'
and 'prev' commands) using CTRL+Left/Right -- the 'bindkey' STRING
values should be:

     bindkey ^[[1;5C next
     bindkey ^[[1;5D prev

You could also quote the STRING arguments, which might look nicer in
your editor:

     bindkey "^[[1;5C" next
     bindkey "^[[1;5D" prev

To determine what the value of the STRING to use, a quick 'n dirty
way in bash is to use CTRL-V prior to pressing CTRL+Left and/or
CTRL+Right to see their printed representations.

Take care,
-Al
