"^C" is Ctrl-C (the caret is a shorthand for Ctrl).

Of course.

Look at "keydefs.sl" (in JED_ROOT+"/lib") where JED_ROOT is a system dependent
variable you can see with Help>Describe Variable JED_ROOT.

The good thing is, you can use keydefs.sl to get symbolic names for these
keys, i.e.

  require("keydefs.sl");
  setkey("bskip_word", Key_Ctrl_Left);
  
should work. Attention: as Key_Ctrl_Left is a varible name, you must not put
quotes around it!
