I found a solution - I am using Terminal.app, and in the “Keyboards” tab of the preferences I found the mappings for different key combinations, among them the mappings for Alt-Left and Alt-right (see attached screenshot). Those are the sequences that need to be used with the “bind” command to map to the appropriate functions:
bind \033f next-or-forward-word bind \033b prevd-or-backward-word And now Alt-left and Alt-right work as expected! I don’t know if you are using Terminal.app or other terminal program, but I’m betting the solution must be a similar one.
