I use cntr -a cntrl e all the time.
I use the default mac terminal. I was excited because I'm always forward and backing up in previous commands.
But alas... Alt F and Alt B just print characters (ĺ). I tried to see if there was a configuration I could set, but to no avail. Maybe I need a better terminal.
- bobwaycott 9y agoiTerm handles Alt+f/b correctly.
- 32bitkid 9y agoTry: `esc F` and `esc B` instead of alt.
- base698 9y agoSet option to meta in your terminal preferences.
- em500 9y agoThe configuration is in Terminal Preferences -> Keyboard -> Use Option as Meta key
- acomjean 9y agoThat works. Thanks! though you have to set it for each terminal type. (I use 3 colors...). It was a little annoying but done.
- Lxr 9y agoHighly, highly recommend iTerm2, it’s a great piece of software and there’s really no reason to use the default terminal over it.
