Follow-up Comment #17:

I don't think you mean left-arrow and right-arrow to go backwards and forwards
a word at a time, do you?

I'll reopen this as a feature request and retitle appropriately to what it
sounds to me like you want to do. If you want to try to come up with a patch
that will set some key bindings based on the --traditional option, feel free.
But keep in mind that there is already a simple way to set up keybindings, and
dropping an inputrc file somewhere isn't that much more difficult than editing
a shortcut launcher command line.
