I’ve struggled to navigate the command line since switching to iTerm2, but Marius’s post about remapping the arrow and delete keys fixed that issue.
Go to Profiles > Keys > Key Mapping to add/alter the mappings listed below:
| Shortcut | Command | Action | Send |
|---|---|---|---|
| ⌥ ← | Jump to start of word | Send Escape Sequence | b |
| ⌥ → | Jump to end of word | Send Escape Sequence | f |
| ⌘ ← | Jump to start of line | Send Hex Code | 0x01 |
| ⌘ → | Jump to end of line | Send Hex Code | 0x05 |
| ⌥ ⌫ | Delete to start of word | Send Hex Code | 0x17 |
| ⌘ ⌫ | Delete entire line | Send Hex Code | 0x15 |
