iTerm2 Tips & Tricks

Probably known by many of you, but some of these were new to me:

  • Search: Cmd+f
  • Autocomplete: Cmd+;
  • Paste history: Cmd+Shift+H
  • Instant replay: Cmd+Alt+B
  • iTerm2 Exposé: Cmd+ Alt+E
  • Support for many of the readline bindable commands:
    • Ctrl+a: beginning of line
    • Ctrl+e: end of line
    • Ctrl+f: forward 1 char
    • Ctrl+b: back 1 char
    • Ctrl+l: clear screen
    • Ctrl+p: previous history
    • Ctrl+r: history reverse search
    • Ctrl+d: delete current char
    • Ctrl+h: delete previous char
    • Ctrl+w: kill the word behind point
    • Ctrl+k: kill text from the point to the end of the line

I’ve also defined a go to beginning/end of a word.
