Terminal Keyboard Shortcuts for Jumping Words
In i-Term under preferences -> profiles -> keys we can set a number of useful key short cuts for jumping/skipping/deleting keywords in the terminal.
To delete one word backwards using a non-alphanumeric character as the delimiter we set,
alt+backspace: Hexcode: 0x1B 0x08
That is, using alt+backspace on,
/usr/bin/python
will remove,
python
bin
usr
/
For jumping one word backwards or forwards with the left and right arrowkeys using a non-alphanumeric character as the delimiter, we use,
Alt + left: Send Escape Sequence: Esc + b
Alt + right: Send Escape Sequence: Esc + f
That is, using alt + left on,
/usr/bin/python
will jump,
python
bin
usr
/
