iTerm 2 Natural Text Editing Preset

gistfile1.txt

On iTerm2 - Open Preferences > Profiles > Keys > Key Mappings > Presets > Select Natural Text Editing

- You can move a word backwards using Option ⌥ + ← and a word forwards using Option ⌥ + →
- Move to the start of the line using fn + ← and to the end of the line with fn + →. 
- Also you can delete a word backwards using Option ⌥ + ⌫, delete the whole line using Command ⌘ + ⌫.

If the preset doesn't appear, reinstall iTerm2. If you installed it using Homebrew + Cask:

brew cask reinstall iterm2

Hey bud so I just started using MacBook Pro and been setting it up, I installed iTerm2 using Homebrew + Cask but the Natural Text Editing is missing from the presets, I tried the above to reinstall, well the command has changed to brew install --cask iterm2 and I did reinstall as mentioned but the preset is still missing, wondering if I can download it from somewhere and import it manually? Let me know and TIA

you should go to Preference-Profile-keys-key mappings

Oh man. So glad to know it wasn't just me who was looking in the wrong spot. Talk about confusing!

Thank you guys for your life saving screenshots. I spent 30 minutes trying to understand why I didn't see the Natural Text Editing option.
