    <p>I want to be able to use Option-left and Option-right to skip words (and Cmd-left/right to go to beginning and end of lines) within Vim as it does at my shell prompt. My Iterm2 preferences have mappings to do this (e.g. <code>Option-left</code> to <code>Esc-H</code> and a one for <code>option-right</code> to <code>Esc-F</code> to skip over words), and this works in the shell locally or when ssh'd to a remote server.</p> <p>When I use Vim locally or remotely, <code>option-left</code> works, but <code>option-right</code> does not. I suspect this is because Vim naturally listens for <code>Esc-H</code>, but not <code>Esc-F</code>. I am able to get around this by modifying .vimrc file to <code>Esc-b</code> to <code>b</code> and <code>Esc-f</code> to <code>f</code>, but I don't want to do this to every server I'm connecting to. </p> <p>Similarly, I have the same desired setup for Cmd-left/right for going to beginning and end of a line. I can get this working in the shell via Iterm2 mappings (e.g. <code>Cmd-left</code> to <code>Esc-[h</code>), but Vim doesn't respond at all to this unless I map keys again (e.g. <code>Esc-[h</code> to <code>^</code>).</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> I just figured out how to get option-left/right working. I changed mapping in iTerm2 for these to be <code>escape-[1;5D</code> and <code>escape-[1;5C</code> respectively. I still want to solve the Cmd-left/right problem though (I changed my question's title to reflect this). Any ideas?</p>

    1. CONeither your shell nor Vim are going to react to the `Cmd` key. Also, as a long time mac user, I find `^$bBeEwW` to be far more efficient: if you are going to use Vim seriously, why not use it as it was designed?

    3. COYes. Pressing the `Cmd` key is not registered by the shell (no ANSI code for modifier `Cmd`) so AFAIK there is no way to send `Cmd` to Vim which doesn't even understand `Cmd` anyway: it's MacVim-only, no other versions of Vim, CLI or GUI, on any OS, can use `<D->` mappings. So, the only way to use the `Cmd` key in CLI Vim mappings is to swap it with some other key: `Alt`, `Ctrl`, `Shift`, whatever, there are lots of apps/hacks for that. Obviously, doing that may open the door to an avalanche of problems and, *actually* displace the problem since we still have the same number of modifier keys.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
