Answer 2

I would say mapping keys manually, as shown in other answers, is an advanced setup. iterm2 already has preset for that.

• Open Preferences

• Click "Profile" tab

• Select a profile in the list on the left (eg "Default")

• Click "Keys" tab

• Click "Key Mappings" tab (if it exists)

• Click the "Presets" dropdown and select "Natural Text Editing"

After that, you can easily navigate in the console with the Command + Left/Right arrow.
