Make Terminal.app key mappings work in bash
Authored by: MattHaffner on Aug 06, '04 12:19:21PM

Even easier, just turn on "Use option key as meta key" and then Opt-F and Opt-B work as Meta-F and Meta-B (and so on for every other key...). The default Emacs bindings for M-F and M-B are forward and backward word motion.

Hmm, the Esc-f and Esc-b worked for me in iTerm, but when I told iTerm's prefs to treat the Option key as a meta-key, nothing changed, even after restarting iTerm.
