Making iTerm2 More Familiar
Raw
README.md

1. Configure Basic Key Bindings for Familiarity

  1. From the iTerm2 menu, go to Settings.

  2. Select the Profiles tab.

  3. Head to the Keys section.

  4. This will make common editing shortcuts work as expected.

2. Customize Option+Backspace to Delete a Whole Word

By default, iTerm2 treats Option+Backspace differently than Windows Terminal. To make it delete a single word at a time:

  1. In the Keys section, click the + button.

  2. For Keyboard Shortcut, press Option+Backspace.

  3. Choose Send Hex Code from the dropdown.

  4. In Hex Code, input 0x1b 0x08.

    Now, pressing Option+Backspace will delete the previous word instead of the entire line.
