I find myself using the meta + arrow keys constantly.
When I am editing code, it would be nice if I could count underscores as words so that when I decide to rename a variable it goes to the character right after the underscore.
For example, if I have a variable named workout_disabled_color, and I press meta + ←, and my cursor is currently at the end of "color", then it would go to the left of the character c.
Is anybody aware of how I can do this?
I wasn't able to reproduce this on a MacBook Air running Mac OS X 10.6.6 and Safari 5.0.3. When I press backspace (it's called delete on my keyboard), it doesn't cause the carat to jump to the next word.
Perhaps it's some 3rd party software interfering with your keyboard?
⌘← can be assigned to \eOH and ⌘→ to \eOF. You could assign ⌥← to \eb like in Terminal, but it doesn't work in vi mode or nano.
In emacs mode you could also add this to .inputrc:
"\e[1;9D": backward-word
"\e[1;9C": forward-word
"\e[3~": kill-word
C-v shows the escape sequence for the next key combination. ^[ is ESC in caret notation. bind -p prints currently bound commands.
