Standard bindings

  • Move left between words: ⌥← | send escape sequence | b
  • Move right between words: ⌥→ | send escapes sequence | f
  • Start of the line: ⌘← | send escape sequence | [H
  • End of the line ⌘→ | send escape sequence | [F
  • Delete previous word ⌥←Delete | send hex code | 0x1B 0x08
  • Delete entire line ⌘←Delete | send hex code | 0x15

Don't forget the amazing icons ⌘ = command and ⌥ = options/alt (why oh why?).

ZLE bindings

Oh-my-zsh have made some changes to use ZLE which you can see talked about issue and commit so there are different bindings for that.

  • Start of the line: ⌘← | send escape sequence | OH
  • End of the line ⌘→ | send escape sequence | OF

0x1B 0x08 works just fine in iTerm2 build 3.3.9. It does delete a word until the next special character (whereas 0x17 deletes the whole word regardless any special chars)
