Mac Terminal Keys
One of the most annoying things with Apple’s Terminal.app is that the key bindings for paging an home/end are all kinds of screwed up. I’ve actually had these on my MBP for a while but was setting up a new Mac today and figured I’d throw them out here for the benefit of the rest of the web.
To restore keyboard settings that make sense to users coming from other terminals you’ll need to edit the “Keyboard” settings of your favorite theme. These are the correct settings, they all require setting “Action” to “send string to shell”; use the escape key to enter \033:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| home | \033[1~ |
| end | \033[4~ |
| page up | \033[5~ |
| page down | \033[6~ |
