On iTerm, make the keyboard navigation shortcuts the same as default mac osx:

Suggestion: Move item 17 (Setup finder & Dock) to a position before 13 (dotfiles). Dotfiles are hidden by default on the mac and thus makes sense to modify the configuration related to their visibility before creating them...
