# Fix iterm2 MacOS keys
[](https://travis-ci.com/GabLeRoux/iterm2-macos-dynamic-profile)
iTerm2 has terrible defaults concerning `option + arrow`, `cmd + arrow` + `backspace` or `delete`. Here's a fixed _dynamic profile_ to fix that.
Refer to [iTerm 2: How to set keyboard shortcuts to jump to beginning/end of line? Answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/29403520/1092815).
I followed instructions, took the first suggestion each time and generated this iTerm2 profile.
## How to import dynamic profile
```bash
git clone https://github.com/GabLeRoux/iterm2-macos-dynamic-profile.git
cd iterm2-macos-dynamic-profile
# copy the json profile to dynamic profiles folder
cp ./fix-iterm2-keys-profile.json ~/Library/Application\ Support/iTerm2/DynamicProfiles
# or create a symlink for easier updates
ln -s $(pwd)/fix-iterm2-keys-profile.json ~/Library/Application\ Support/iTerm2/DynamicProfiles/
```
* Open iTerm2 Preferences -> Profiles
* Select the new dynamic profile from the list
* Click `Other Actions` -> `Bulk Copy from Selected Profile...`
* Check `Keys` checkbox
* Select your profile
* Hit Copy button
* Enjoy a much better life with your keyboard
## ZSH bindkey fix + redo
As explained in [iTerm 2: How to set keyboard shortcuts to jump to beginning/end of line? Answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/29403520/1092815):
See [`./fix_zsh_keys.sh`](./fix_zsh_keys.sh)
```bash
# Copy fixed keys to your dotfiles
mkdir ~/dotfiles/
cp ./fix_zsh_keys.sh ~/dotfiles/
# Add entry to your ~/.zshrc
echo 'source ~/dotfiles/fix_zsh_keys.sh' >> ~/.zshrc
# Reload your .zshrc for changes to take effect
source ~/.zshrc
```
