Keyboard Shortcuts
iTerm
You might be familiar with shortcuts to skip a word (⌥) or go to start/end of the line (⌘). iTerm is not set up to work with these shortcuts by default but here’s how you set them up:
Open up iTerm2 preferences (⌘ + ,) -> Keys -> Key Bindungs -> Click on + icon (add new Keyboard shortcut). [Source]
| Shortcut | Explanation | Action | Input |
|---|---|---|---|
| ⌘← | Moving to the beginning of the line | Send Escape Sequence | OH |
| ⌘→ | Moving to the end of the line | Send Escape Sequence | OF |
| ⌥← | Moving to the start of a word | Send Escape Sequence | b |
| ⌥→ | Moving to the end of a word | Send Escape Sequence | f |
| ⌥←Delete | Deleting a word | Send Hex Code | 0x17 |
