Alt key not working correctly on macOS/iTerm (specifically <a-enter>)

[itsonlyjames]

For some reason when lazygit is open, my alt key does not get recognised whether by alt + backspace to whole delete words, or alt + enter to commit from the commit description (<a-enter>). Weirdly, alt + left/right does work correctly and moves the cursor around whole words.

I've checked iTerm settings and confirmed that alt does work correctly, as in when outside of lazygit I can alt + backspace to delete words and alt + left/right to traverse whole words.

os:
  editPreset: "nvim"

gui:
  theme:
    activeBorderColor:
      - "#f38ba8"
      - bold
    inactiveBorderColor:
      - "#a6adc8"
    optionsTextColor:
      - "#89b4fa"
    selectedLineBgColor:
      - "#313244"
    cherryPickedCommitBgColor:
      - "#45475a"
    cherryPickedCommitFgColor:
      - "#f38ba8"
    unstagedChangesColor:
      - "#f38ba8"
    defaultFgColor:
      - "#cdd6f4"
    searchingActiveBorderColor:
      - "#f9e2af"

  authorColors:
    "*": "#b4befe"

Thanks for any help!

Alt-backspace is not supported by lazygit; you can use ctrl-w instead to delete words.

To make alt-enter work in iTerm2, you need to do a bit of configuration in iTerm.

Thank you kindly @stefanhaller, that works!
