• Iterm2 settings

  • Iterm2 > Preferences > Profiles > Select profile name > Colors > [In basic colors]
    • Foreground: R = 0, G = 200, B = 0
    • Background: R = 0, G = 0, B = 0
    • Cursor colors > Cursor: R = 0, G = 200, B = 0
  • Uncheck this option: Prefs > Profiles > Terminal > Save lines to scrollback in alternate screen mode

  • Iterm2 > Preferences > Profiles > Select profile name > Keys
    • In Left option key, select Esc+. This gives alternative of ALT + b or f using left-option b or f
    • Note: With this commit, vi is enabled for command line also so this step will help if we go into some other prompt like gdb, delve, ...

• Fasten key repeat settings: Go to System preferences > keyboard

  • Key Repeat should be fastest
  • Delay Until Repeat should be one less than shortest

• Upgrade bash and make it default shell: https://www.shell-tips.com/mac/upgrade-bash/

• Execute ~/.bashrc on startup

  • In MacOS ~/.bashrc is not executed on startup so create ~/.bash_profile and source ~/.bashrc into it. See this for details
