Move cursor by word on Mac - cant get Option+arrow working

[dabeeeenster]

Hi,

Am on a Mac and trying to get Wezterm to behave like my existing iTerm2 and Terminal. Both of those allow me to move by word with the left-option + left/right cursor key. If I hit this key combo in Wezterm, I get D printed on the screen. I cant figure out from the docs how to set the right bind? In iTerm2 I have "Left Option sends Esc+"

Any ideas how to do this? I don't have any key bind related stuff in my wezterm.lua.

Looking at the Terminal.app preferences:

Option left and right are rebound to \033b and \033f respectively.

You use the SendString action to rebind keys, and if you look at the docs for SendString, you'll see an example that covers exactly these key bindings:
