Dr. Evil Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 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.

lord_muad_dib Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 i guess it's something about the keyboard layer not the terminal itself Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28870-terminal-app-where-homeend-keys-work/#findComment-198043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Evil Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 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.
