Configuring the navigation and deleting word on iTerm2 

1. GOTO ITerm --> Preferences --> Keys
2. Click on Add button (+ symbol) at the bottom to add a keyboard shortcut.
3. Set the preferred Keyboard shortcut for the operation being performed.
4. Set the Action as "Send Escape Sequence" or "Send Hex Code" depending upon the operation's code (Codes given below for each action)

Codes To Move a Word:

Codes To Delete a Word:

Tips: The following shortcut keys worked well for me!

• For Navigation: option(alt) + left/right
• To Delete a word right to cursor: option(alt)+d
• To Delete a word left to cursor: option(alt)+Shift+d

Note: Make sure the shortcut keys that you are using for these does not get overridden in  "ITerm-->Preferences-->Profile-->Keys"
