iTerm2 Keyboard Shortcuts

Contents

I noticed people sluggishly using the arrow keys to fix a typo in a terminal command, wasting seconds that add up over time. Here are a couple of keyboard shortcuts I use that increased the quality of life when using the terminal, and allows for speedier in-line navigation.

  • Beginning of line: ⌘← | Send Hex Code | 0x01
  • End of line: ⌘→ | Send Hex Code | 0x05
  • Beginning of word: ⌥← | Send Escape Sequence | b
  • End of word: ⌥→ | Send Escape Sequence | f
  • Delete line: ⌘←Delete | Send Hex Code | 0x15
  • Delete word: ⌥←Delete | Send Hex Code | 0x17
  • One page up: ⇧⌘↑| Scroll One Page Up
  • One page down: ⇧⌘↓ | Scroll One Page Down
