Alt + Arrow Key Bindings for JetBrains IntelliJ/PhpStorm on MacOS

zsh_bash_keybindings_alt-arrow_mac.sh

# Currently the embedded terminal of Jetbrains IDEs does not make use of keybindings defined in terminal/iterm on mac
# Instead yo get the ring bell and output like [C or [D
#
# see: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000013224-Alt-key-not-working-in-embedded-terminal
#
# to fix it and allow ALT + Arrow in the the IDEs embedded terminal just do the following (depending on wich shell you use)

# If you use zsh
# Add this to ~/.zshrc :
bindkey "\e\eOD" backward-word 
bindkey "\e\eOC" forward-word

# If you use bash
# Add this to ~/.inputrc
"\e\e[C": forward-word
"\e\e[D": backward-word


# -> don't forget to restart the terminal/IDE
