Apple terminal no home and end key - Use cmd left or cmd right

How do I make

⌘+← and ⌘+→ move the text cursor very left and right of the terminal entry line. This keyboard shortcut works on most things on my mac book but not the Terminal.

Usually I use the home and end keys on other non apple computers. Strangely enough ⌃+A and ⌃+E achieve this in the mac terminal but it is the wrong key combination in my opinion. I want to do it using ⌘+← and ⌘+→.

It is similar to this question, however I want to specifically map it to ⌘+← and ⌘+→.

Can home and end keys be mapped when using Terminal?

Solution 1:

You can use Better Touch Tool for this (it's no longer free, 5$ minimum), just assign keyboard shortcuts to work in Terminal app only. Remap ⌘ CMD+← to ⌃ CTRL+A and ⌘ CMD+→ to ⌃ CTRL+E. Here's the sample:

Solution 2:

You can adjust the keybindings in Terminals preferences under Profiles -> Keyboard. This is on a Profile by profile basis. Map Esc+OH (\033OH) to the Home key to goto the beginning of a line and Esc+OF (\033OF) to the End key to go to the end of a line.
