Why ALT+. (last parameter) does not work in Bash?
Try ESC. instead, this will work in both Terminal and iTerm.
By default, the Alt-key doesn’t work in MacOS (OSX) Terminal. Simple solution for this problem:
Terminal > Preferences > Settings > Keyboard
Just check Use option as meta key at the bottom!
This will disable Mac extended characters (ex. Option+g = © Copyright char), but no worry if you dont need them.
