Does anyone know what is the keyboard key to jump between word to word in embedded local terminal for WebStorm or PyCharm?
I have use Option (Alt) key + Arrow Left/Right to jump between word in Mac or mac terminal, but when I turn on embedded local terminal in WebStorm it just show [D or [C.
Searching lots online, cannot find a better solution but only find that may be the issue for WebStorm/PyCharm about meta key and Esc.

Hold option ( alt on some keyboards) and press the arrow keys left or right to move by word. Simple as that. Also ctrl e will take you to the end of the line and ctrl a will take you to the start.
To Get Forward (Alt-f), Backward (Alt-b) and Delete (Alt-d) Word. Open iTerm. Under Profile Shortcut Keys, click the + sign. Type your key shortcut (option-b, option-f, option-d, option-left, etc.)
I'm glad you brought this up because I've been wanting to fix the problem for a long time now but kept forgetting! The solution I came up with is manually adding the key binding directly to the .bash_profile. Here's a walk through:
Open .bash_profile using nano or whatever (editor you want to use) by running:
nano ~/.bash_profile
Then paste where ever you want in the .bash_profile these commands:
bind '"\e\e[C": forward-word'
bind '"\e\e[D": backward-word'
Press ^x (that is the control key and the x key) > y > enter to save the .bash_profile changes.
Once that's finished, restart the terminal in WebStorm/PyCharm and enjoy!
