- s00pcan 14y agoI might as well answer seeing as I found this out yesterday. Go to the profile options then the keys tab. Then there is an option for left/right option key acting as normal meta or +esc. While meta sounds correct for this, esc+ was recommended and works.
- aerique 14y agoThis can be fixed by editing the keybindings for your shell. Bash by default on OS X? If so Google for ".inputrc", mine looks like this: # See http://www.reddit.com/r/commandline/comments/kbeoe/you_can_make_readline_and_bash_much_more_user/ "\eOd": backward-word "\e[5D": backward-word # for OS X "\eOc": forward-word "\e[5C": forward-word # for OS X "\C-f": reverse-search-history "\C-F": reverse-search-history # for OS X #Control-F: reverse-search-history #Control-j: menu-complete #Control-k: menu-complete-backward set bell-style none set completion-ignore-case on set completion-prefix-display-length 2 set show-all-if-ambiguous on set show-all-if-unmodified on
