The Vim default settings are obtained with:
$ vim -Nu NONE
or, for gvim:
$ gvim -NU NONE
according to the documentation (manpage); and not by just running vim
loading a complex config file and then reset only one setting or another
to its default value.

Can you quote me this part of the documentation ? I don't remember have
read somewhere that the Right-arrow is disabled when default settings are
applied, but just that 'wildmenu' gives it a specific behaviour.

xfce4-terminal, xterm and any VT (<Ctrl-Alt-Fn>) give me the same:
^[[B for <Down>
^[[C for <Right>
And in any of them:
1. <Down> and <Right> work as expected when 'wildmenu' is on:
<Right> works as <CTRL-P>
<Down> move into a subdirectory or submenu.
2. <Down> and <Right> have the same behaviour when 'wildmenu'
is off: as for <Down> when 'wildmenu' is on.

again, quote me this part of the documentation or point me to it.
Have you even tried to verify your assertions without loading your
system/user vimrc ?
I guess you use the <Right> key in a mapping or something like that;
or maybe you should set t_kr...

Thank you, but I know it, and I don't want to disable <Right> for
the wildmenu. I just say and insist: at least for me, <Right> works
as <Down> in commandmode completion when 'wildmenu' is off
(and no vimrc is loaded).
