from How to move the cursor by word in command line of tcsh I know how to move cursor by word in tcsh, but they not easy to use, so can I set a shortcut on command line for example, when I use Ctrl+leftarrow, it actually works as Esc f?

To see a list of pre-defined key-bindings, visit:

http://www.csc.fi/english/pages/data-services/linux_basics/tcsh

To see a list of all commands which can be used to configure key-bindings, visit:

http://www.rohidekar.com/sridharsarnobat/mediawiki/index.php?title=TCSH_Key_bindings

Example: (Write this in your ~/.tcshrc)

bindkey '^[^[[C' forward-word
bindkey '^[^[[D' backward-word

This will bind the alt-right with forward-word and alt-left with backword-word.

To map to a different keyset, just run cat and hit enter. Hit the key-combination (in the above example, right-arrow and left-arrow), record the strings that are echoed back, and use these as the key combinations to bind.
