iTerm 2 Natural Text Editing Preset
On iTerm2 - Open Preferences > Profiles > Keys > Key Mappings > Presets > Select Natural Text Editing
- You can move a word backwards using Option ⌥ + ← and a word forwards using Option ⌥ + →
- Move to the start of the line using fn + ← and to the end of the line with fn + →.
- Also you can delete a word backwards using Option ⌥ + ⌫, delete the whole line using Command ⌘ + ⌫.
If the preset doesn't appear, reinstall iTerm2. If you installed it using Homebrew + Cask:
brew cask reinstall iterm2

Raise Open File Limits in OS X

in OS X 10.4 to macOS sierra 10.12 and maybe higher!

Create Launcher Script:

/Library/LaunchDaemons/limit.maxfiles.plist

Copy this entire code block and paste it into your terminal and push Return to create this file for you with correct permissions. It will (probably) ask for your password:

// This will open up a prompt for text to send to a console session on digital ocean
// Useful for long passwords
(function () {
var t = prompt("Enter text to be sent to console, (This wont send the enter keystroke)").split("");
function f() {
var character = t.shift();
var i=[];
var code = character.charCodeAt();
var needs_shift = "!@#$%^&*()_+{}:\"<>?~|".indexOf(character) !== -1
