Moving a word forward in z shell

Question

Answer 1

If you're using iTerm2 on OSX, you can use the Natural Text Editing preset under Preferences -> Profile -> Keys.

This supports these key combos (which are very similar to other editors):

• alt/option + left = move left one word
• alt/option + right = move right one word
