Everyone at work recommended iTerm2 to me instead of the native Terminal. But iTerm2 doesn't seem to allow me to use bash shortcuts like Alt+B and Alt+F to jump back/forward between tokens, or Alt+D to delete a word.
I can't imagine this isn't available. Can anyone help me out?

So What Is An "Alt Bash?" Alt Bashes are parties thrown to celebrate the not-so-celebrated moments. Alt Bashes are heavily trending this year! It's all about celebrating things that are a triumph to you, but might not seem so by society.
The PC-keyboard equivalent of Alt on a Mac is called the Option key, and you'll find the Option Key on your Mac if you go two keys to the left of the spacebar.
Ctrl+D or Delete – remove or deletes the character under the cursor. Ctrl+K – removes all text from the cursor to the end of the line.
The Option key (the Mac name for the Alt key) by default has other uses. Press Command+O to open the list of profiles, select Default (I assume that is the profile you are using), and click "Edit Profiles...". In the resulting window, click on the "Keys" tab, and select "+Esc" for one or both option keys. This should cause iTerm to treat the Option key the way you are accustomed.
Alternatively, you can simply use the Escape key instead.
