This can be done in the same window as before. Another way to achieve what we want is to manually map all the meta key shortcuts. Set it up to the last option (+Esc) as shown in the screenshot, and then the alt key in iTerm will be sending the shell the adequate escape sequence so all meta mappings work as expected.ĮDIT (): looks like this breaks some of the characters that are used by typing the meta key, i.e. Now, on the bottom of the keymap lists, you will see that you can configure the behaviour of the option key. You just need to go to the Profiles menu, edit your profile (which is most likely to be the default one), and then go to the keys tab.
Instead of moving forward or backward a word, you will see that some weird character is written on the command line.įortunately this is really easy to fix in iTerm. Now, if you open a shell in iTerm and press C-b or C-f, the output will be as expected, but not if you press M-b or M-f.

In Mac OS X, the meta key is mapped to the alt key, but as you may very well know, this alt key is known as the option key, and has its peculiarities. In most keyboards (or keymaps to be precise), the control key is mapped to the ctrl key and the meta key is mapped to the alt key. The C stands for control key, while the M stands for meta key. Doing if with M-b or M-f does the same but with a word (if you are an Emacs user you will be familiar with those key shortcuts). Pressing C-b or C-f moves the cursor one character back or forward. This movements, unless you redefine it in your global or local bashrc profile (or any similar shell you maybe using), are done with the keys b and f. Using the arrow keys is usually enough, but more often than not you need to move between words. Chances are, too, that you are using iTerm instead of the system provided Terminal app.

I installed alacrity(though it wasn't that easy c: ) and it's pretty dope! It's even faster than my Linux, feels smooth as butter.If you use your Mac OS X as a development machine and are a regular user of the shell, chances are you are going to be using the movement commands a lot. Except for some options like cursorlinethat lead to a whole window redraw as well. The issue is mainly the terminal's redraw speed, it has almost no connection to how vim works. I wouldn't say it's a giant speed increase but still pretty noticeable They're: set regexpengine=1, set noshowcmd and set synmaxcol=200. That's what I've tried:Īll the vim configuration options like lead me to a small increase of speed.

I'm using MacBook pro 15" 2017, High Sierra. It's just so frustrating to buy such an expensive laptop to discover it can't simply render an old-ass text editor :( So my question: is it something wrong with my mac/vim or do you guys just live with it and use it as it is?īTW more and less commands have the same issue as well, not that much laggy, but scroll is also slower in larger terminal windows. I ended up installing MacVim but I wouldn't say it's insanely fast as well, it's better but there are still noticeable lags when in fullscreen mode. The only thing that works is to make the terminal window small like 1/8 - 1/6 of the screen but that's obviously not an option.
Launching vim without plugins and syntax on(which speeds it up a little but still it's too slow). Speeding up my key repeat to 1(scroll is faster but even more laggy) I think I tried almost all the possible suggestions including Both terminal and iterm are extremely slow at rendering and even moving the cursor around without scrolling at all is laggy! But lately I spent a WHOLE day trying to figure out what's wrong with scrolling speed on mac. On Linux vim works just fine, scrolling is always ok even with a much faster cursor speed than I have now on mac. Hi guys, I'm desperate :c Just bought my new MacBook pro 2017 and was very happy with it for a while until I decided to configure my vim.
