How to delete a word in iTerm in mac os

macos shell iterm

This helped me.

Delete a word - Send Hex Codes - 0x1b 0x08 or 0x17

Delete a line - Send Hex Codes - 0x15

macos shell iterm

Go to your iTerm preferences select "profiles" then "key" and change your presets in "Natural Text Editing"

It should work immediately after.

It works with iTerm version 3.3.12

macos shell iterm

ctrl + w in iTerm,

BTW, in text editors
alt + delete to delete whole previous word
fn + delete to delete next word
