# ALT
same with alt + the first key stroke of your command.
Alt is a meta key that sends esc with any secondary key you press. so when I am in insert,
I'll use alt + 3, b to jump back 3 words. or alt+j, j, to go down a couple lines.
No remap needed.
!!! Some terminals require configuration
iterm Edit Profiles -> Keys -> ALT send +Esc
# CTRL
- Ctrl + [ is escape.
-Ctrl + H is backspace
-Ctrl + I is tab
-Ctrl + J is newline
-Ctrl + M is carriage return
# source
