Word jumps to iTerm2 or terminal to OSX Lion

Question

I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion and Xcode 4.1, and word switching has stopped working both in the terminal and in iTerm2. Are mappings changed?

This is with and without a readline home installation.

My .inputrc as follows:

 "\e[1;5D": backward-word "\e[1;5C": forward-word 

Thank!

Answer 1

Mission management

took on the same commands as switching words. thanks to the robbery of kauri and Nicholas Riley for heads-up.

Answer 2

Just add escape sequences to your iTerm settings as global keyboard shortcuts.

Word back (arrow option):

Same thing with the word forward, just use F

Answer 3

The easiest / fastest way I've found is in the "Profiles> Keys>" Loading Presets ... ">" Editing Natural Text "section.

Then use the option key, not the control key.

(iterm2 version 3)

Answer 4

I added the following to / etc / inputrc

 # word jump on SHIFT left/right arrows "\e[1;2D": backward-word "\e[1;2C": forward-word 

it works great

Answer 5

Following the instructions given in the answers above, I found that on my laptop the first bash (1.bash) will not be able to jump in words by pressing the + arrow option. Instead, he simply types “[D”, “[C”. However, if I create a new bash window (2. bash), the word jump works.

To kill a fly from a gun:

• Go to Settings ... > Profiles > Keys
• Click Download Preset ...
• Select Natural Text Editing

You can then move the word backward using Option ⌥ + ← , and the word forward using Option ⌥ + → , go to the beginning of the line using fn + ← , and to the end of the line. line with fn + → . You can also delete the word back with Option ⌥ + ⌫ , delete the entire line with Command ⌘ + ⌫ .

If the preset does not appear, reinstall iTerm2. If you installed it using Homebrew + Cask:

 brew cask reinstall iterm2
