Fixed in git, e2027ae, by a patch from Rishabh Dave, which rejects rebinding any ^X and any M-X sequence where X is more than a single character (apart from ^Space and M-Space).

Left and Right are not rebindable, Shift+Left/Right are not rebindable, and Shift+Ctrl+Left/Right are not rebindable either. All of those keystrokes do left/right movements -- it would be a bit strange to allow the user to rebind Ctrl+Left/Right to do something different. So... the Ctrl+Arrow keys should not become rebindable. Instead, the solution will have to be: to report to the user that (apart from Space, Ins and Del) any keyname longer than one character is invalid.

Putting in one's .nanorc something like
has not the desired effect. The ^Left and ^Right are listed on the two help lines, but the key combinations continue to work as NextWord and PrevWord.

Desire: Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right should be reassignable. The same for Alt+Left (M-Left) and Alt+Right (M-Right), which now continue to produce "Unknown Command".
