A lot of shell shortcuts work in iterm and it's good to learn these because arrow keys, home/end
keys and Mac equivalents don't always work. For example ⌘ + Left Arrow is usually the same as Home
(go to beginning of current line) but that doesn't work in the shell. Home works in many apps but it
takes you away from the home row.
