To mimic OS X's behavior of sending Cmd-left/right to the beginning/end of a line, I add the following mappings in iTerm2:
Cmd-leftto escape-sequence[1~Cmd-rightto escape-sequence[4~
To mimic OS X's behavior of sending Option-left/right to the previous/next word, I add the following mappings in iTerm2:
Option-leftto escape-sequence[1;5DOption-rightto escape-sequence[1;5C
Special thanks to this blog post for tracking down what I was missing with the cmd-left/right mappings
Note: this doesn't work in my local python shell on OS X, but when ssh'd to linux machine, these work in python shell. No idea why. If I use the mappings ilias mentioned below, they don't work in Vim, but everywhere else, including python they work
The python shell in OS X doesn't use readline unless you install pypi.python.org/pypi/readline
This works nice in
vimbut it doesn't work inbash(e.g. when writing a long command) :(Hi @DolanAntenucci , what the equivalent mappings would be in .vimrc (my workflow is Terminal.app, tmux, and vim)? Something like map <M-Left> [1;5D and <M-Right> [1;5C ?
Neither this solution, nor Karim's worked for my Cmd-left/right bindings. I had to set
bindkey '^[[1~' beginning-of-lineandbindkey '^[[4~' end-of-linein my~/.zshrc, then I was able to set the escape codes per this answer. Everything works as expected now in both iTerm2 and Vim.
