Yes, thanks! Well done.

No need for me to add this to get Ctrl+Home working.

But regarding the FAQ, §4.2 : if I understand correctly, Ctrl+Shift+Right 
should select all the word at its right, in one go. For me it does not 
work. It is as if the Ctrl key were not pressed; Nano selects the word 
incrementaly, one more letter at a time as if I had pressed Shift+Right 
only.

~> locate rxvt-unicode-256color
/usr/lib/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode-256color

~> dpkg -S rxvt-unicode-256color
ncurses-base: /lib/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode-256color
