Detailed steps to reproduce the problem:
- Set keyboard to
Portuguese
-
C-o
--- edit default profile --- Keys --- Left Option Key: Meta - Go back to the terminal and type
M-b
- Cursor should go back a word
What happened: I expect to be able to use meta to perform readline commands such as M-f
and M-b
to go a word forward and backward. I changed the option in Profiles so that Left Option sents Meta
instead. I should be able to perform those commands, but this didn't happen. Instead, iterm2
sends me this: $ �����
. MacOs default Terminal.app
works as intended with similar configuration.
What should have happened:
I should be able to perform Meta readline commands.
