iterm

I want to be able to use Option-left and Option-right to skip words (and Cmd-left/right to go to beginning and end of lines) within Vim as it does at my shell prompt. My Iterm2 preferences have mappings to do this (e.g. Option-left to Esc-H and a one for option-right to Esc-F to skip over words), and this works in the shell locally or when ssh'd to a remote server. When I use Vim locally or remotely, option-left works, but option-right does not. I suspect this is because Vim naturally listens for Esc-H , but not Esc-F . I am able to get around this by modifying .vimrc file to Esc-b to b and

When I run vim from the command line in iTerm, syntax highlighting doesn't seem to work locally. In vim for example I have installed a nice colorscheme that works quite well in MacVim but it would be great if in iTerm it showed the same one. Any ideas how I can turn this on? This is the color scheme I'm trying to use http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2340 That color scheme looks like it only supports 256-color terminals. If Vim thinks that your terminal only supports 8 colors, you won't see that specific color scheme. You can check this in Vim by: :echo &t_Co If that returns 8 ,

I am having a strange issue with iTerm2, in terminal vim (non-gui) and the solarized color scheme. First, I have set iTerm2 to use the dark solarized colour scheme. I am also using solarized for vim. I have the following lines in my .vimrc set background=dark colorscheme solarized In the terminal the color scheme looks incorrect: For reference this is how it looks under MacVim (gui vim) What do I need to change in iTerm or my .vimrc to get the colors looking correctly in my console vim? Bill Turner A couple of things to check: In iTerm2, in Preferences -> Profiles -> Terminal, under "Terminal

I needed to reformat my computer and now I'm having trouble copying the settings/profiles over. I copied the files in ~/Library/Application\ Support/iTerm/ I also copied ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist but it keeps giving me this error: Failed to load preferences from custom directory. Falling back to local copy. Missing or malformed file at "/ com.googlecode.iterm2.plist" I also tried saving the profile in a directory so I could send it but it doesn't work. Here's the location: iTerm ▶ General ▶ Preferences ▶ Save Settings To Folder and here's the output: Failed to copy

I'm running iterm2 and when I'm in tmux mode the colorscheme I have set in vim does not show up. Only the color scheme I've set in iterm. If I run vim from shell the colorscheme appears correct - its only when I'm in tmux mode. I've tried setting :colorscheme molokai when in vim (see screenshot below) and it doesn't change - again, the default colorscheme for iterm2 remains. Am I missing some setting to iterm or tmux.conf? My dotfles are up on github here. I had the same problem. Only difference was I am using solarize rather then molokai . To fix the issue, I have set up an alias in ~/.bashrc
