# use vi mode
bindkey -v

# go back a word with option arrow (staying in insert mode)
bindkey -M viins '^[[D' vi-backward-word
# go forward a word with option arrow (staying in insert mode)
bindkey -M viins '^[[C' vi-forward-word

You can also map Home and End to do what they say:

# use home and end to go to beginning and end of the line
bindkey -M viins '^[[H' vi-beginning-of-line
bindkey -M viins '^[[F' vi-end-of-line

And actual forward delete using the forward delete key:

# use delete as forward delete
bindkey -M viins '^[[3~' vi-delete-char

Anyone know what bindings to change/enable for this? It would be handy for sure.</p> What about that option-delete Cocoa functionality for iTerm? Anyone know what bindings to change/enable for this?
