I love being able rename tabs, I just wish that they would unify the move the cursor keys with the standard OS X keys. ie: beginning of line -> command + left

I love being able rename tabs, I just wish that they would unify the move the cursor keys with the standard OS X keys.
ie: beginning of line -> command + left arrow.
I realize that people are probably used to it, but personally I like minimizing the difference between any context switches I have to make.
Maybe there is an option somewhere I can't yet find.
- bostonvaulter2 16y agoYou should use ctrl-a instead. Then you don't need to take your hands away fr the main part of the keyboard
- GeneralMaximus 16y agoAlso, C-A, C-E, C-K, C-F, C-B, C-P, C-N, C-Y and a few other readline keybindings work in all standard Cocoa text controls.
- losvedir 16y agoYes, this is wonderful. Recently, I've been using emacs as my primary editor and because of muscle memory accidentally used the movement commands in, e.g. composing a new email in Gmail. It worked! C-a (beginning of line), C-e (end of line), C-n (down a line), C-p (up a line) in particular are especially useful. I just used C-p and C-n in composing this comment. C-k / C-y is weird in Gmail, though. Anyone know why? Try replying to an email, C-k'ing a line, going to the top, and C-y. I can't make heads or tails of the gibberish that ensues!

- swaits 16y agoMovements, like you describe, are left up to the application you're interacting with. This is not a job for a terminal! The terminal just needs to communicate the keys pressed.
