iTerm2 keyboard shortcut - split pane navigation

Question

I have been a long time user of the standard Mac Terminal. Decided to experiment with iTerm2 after hearing good things about it from my colleagues.

One of the more useful features I am seeing on iTerm2 is its split panes (much like vim split buffers).

In vim, I can move between split buffers using Ctrl+W+arrowkeys. Is there a keyboard shortcut for iTerm2 to move between panes as well?

Answer 1

From the documentation:

Cmd] and Cmd[ navigates among split panes in order of use.

Answer 2

Cmd+opt+←/↑/→/↓ navigate similarly to vim's C-w hjkl.

Answer 3

⌘+⌥+←/↑/→/↓ will let you navigate split panes in the direction of the arrow, i.e. when using ⌘+D to split panes vertically, ⌘+⌥+← and ⌘+⌥+→ will let you switch between the panes.

Answer 4

there is configuration in the following way:

Preferences -> keys -> Navigation shortcuts

the 3rd option: shortcut to choose a split pane is "no shortcut" by default, we can choose one

cheers

Answer 5

I was using Terminator before, so I found it convenient to re-map Alt + arrow-key to switch between the panes. This can be done in Preferences -> Keys -> Key Mappings - press the '+' button to add a mapping. Also, in my case such a mapping was already defined in Profiles, I simply removed it.

Answer 6

Spanish ISO:

1. ⌘+⌥+[ goes left top
2. ⌘+⌥+] goes bottom right
