iTerm 2 Mac-ready key binding additions.

Raw

keybindings.md

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

Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately the hex codes 0x1B 0x08 for ⌥←Delete are not working for me with iTerm 2 Build 3.0.14 / fish 2.5.0 / bash 4.4. Instead I had to use 0x17 - see https://coderwall.com/p/ds2dha/word-line-deletion-and-navigation-shortcuts-in-iterm2 for more details.

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)
