i can change iTerm2 setting:

• 0x1b 0x62 to Move cursor one word left
• 0x1b 0x66 to Move cursor one word right

how can i do this same with go-prompt

• Operating System:
  osx

• Terminal Emulator:
  iTerm2

• tag of go-prompt or commit revision:
  master

It is possible by adding custom keybinds via OptionAddKeyBind. But go-prompt needs to define 0x1b 0x62 and 0x1b 0x66 keys at posix_input.go

By the way, the answer of stackoverflow says:

• 0x1b 0x62 means Option/Alt + Left
• 0x1b 0x66 means Option/Alt + Right

But in my environment(macOS Sierra and iTerm2):

• Option/Alt + Left returns 0x1b, 0x1b, 0x5b, 0x44
• Option/Alt + Right returns 0x1b, 0x1b, 0x5b, 0x43.

Is this behavior different with OSX?

the answer of stackoverflow says is to set such key, not the real key.

i make a pr , and add the follow code in my project to move cursor one word left or right

		prompt.OptionAddASCIICodeBind(prompt.ASCIICodeBind{
			ASCIICode: []byte{0x1b, 0x62},
			Fn:        prompt.GoLeftWord,
		}),
		prompt.OptionAddASCIICodeBind(prompt.ASCIICodeBind{
			ASCIICode: []byte{0x1b, 0x66},
			Fn:        prompt.GoRightWord,
		}),
