Enable word jumps and word deletion, aka natural text selection
By default, word jumps (option + → or ←) and word deletions (option + backspace) do not work. To enable these, go to “iTerm → Preferences → Profiles → Keys → Load Preset… → Natural Text Editing”
Custom prompt styles
By default, your prompt will now show “user@hostname” in the prompt. This will make your prompt rather bloated. To remove this you can add the line DEFAULT_USER=$(whoami)to ~/.zshrc.
