iTerm 2: How to set keyboard shortcuts to jump to beginning/end of line?

Question

I can see that Ctrl+left/right jumps to the beginning/end of line. How to change this to Cmd+left/right arrow

Answer 1

The old fashion emacs bindings can still work in iterm2 and os x terminal:

Preferences -> Profiles -> Keys (sub tab in profiles)

• Set Left/Right option ⌥ key acts as +Esc (similar in os x terminal)

This should enable alt-f and alt-b for moving words by words. (Still ctrl-a and ctrl-e always work as usual)

If set as meta those old bindings will work while some iterm2 bindings unavailable.
