oh my god this thread saved my life...after wasting 30 minutes like everyone else.... chat gpt was useless and you saved my ass from breaking my mac... this app's preferences UI is garbage, overly complex with pointless features(that i'm sure I'll be happy about later on) and the only option I wanted to change super deeply hidden... why the hell doesn't it come set by default and the weird profile get set manually for some non standard behavior anyways?
+1 for finding this helpful, I was also looking in the wrong place. Thanks for posting!
With iterm now, selecting "Natural Text Editing" only gives me 8 bindings. I'm missing quite a few.
Same and I think this is not working correctly.

Thank you guys for your life saving screenshots. I spent 30 minutes trying to understand why I didn't see the Natural Text Editing option.
