iTerm 3.4+ doesn't want to do Alt+Movement for me in Vim
Thanks for filing an issue! Please answer the questions below so I can help you.
- iTerm2 version: 3.4.0, 3.4.1
- OS version: macOS Big Sur 11.0.1
Detailed steps to reproduce the problem:
- Set iTerm Settings/Profile/Keys/Left Option Key to "Esc+"
vim something
- Enter insert mode, type something:
itacos
- Hit Option+movement, e.g. Option+j.
On previous versions this would leave insert mode and move the cursor to the left. On 3.4.0+ it instead enters an accented "e".
FWIW, I also use vim mode for my shell, and the option + movement command does work from insert mode while editing a command.
