Terminal app where home/end keys work?

I've been looking for a while but haven't had much success in finding a terminal application for OS X in which the command+left and command+right bring you to start and end of line (home and end keys would be fine too of course). It would be an added bonus if option+left/right jumped one word at a time like most apps.

 

Apple's terminal doesn't support this and neither does iTerm. This would be quite useful feature since I often edit commands right before hitting enter and moving thru them one char at a time is slow for long commands.

 

If anyone knows of such a terminal app or secret hotkey in apple's terminal please shout!

 

Thanks.

good point. when you go to 'Window Settings' in 'Terminal' menu and select 'Keyboard' there are a list of mappings allowing you to configure your own.

 

Anyone have any idea how i could configure custom home/end keys?

 

edit -> shift + home/end works!

 

if anyone figures out how to jump one word at a time let me know!

 

ps: thanks lord_muad_dib for pointing me in the right direction, i noticed this in key mappings page.
