    That's what I am doing and it doesn't work Commented Jan 10, 2017 at 14:58
  • Pause between Ctrl+b and subsequent Ctrl+arrow key must be as short as possible, (I think it a second, no more). This bothered me too until I found that it need to be entered pretty fast

    Using Putty 0.69 on Windows and tmux 2.1 on Ubuntu 16.04, Ctrl + Arrow is just detected the same as arrow without Ctrl. Setting the terminal overrides as suggested in the other answer fixes things.
