Ah.  Sorry.  I read your patch entirely wrong -- I saw what I
expected to see.

So now you know what I expect to see: that you change two lines,
not add two new ones.  Your two new lines are *so* similar to the
existing ones that it is wasteful duplication.

You don't need XOR there, a simple | will do -- if you add parentheses
in the right places and add Space to the first part.

That they have been untranslated for a long time doesn't mean that
it isn't a bug.  But it is a tiny bug, so there is no urgency.

Making the Ctrl+Arrow keys rebindable (the Arrow keys by themselves
won't be rebindable) just makes the problem slightly more prominent.
