How to make Command-G behave sanely in the new iTerm (iTerm2)
On a Mac, when you press ⌘G, it normally means Find Next (the next occurrence below my current location), and when you press ⇧⌘G, it means Find Previous (the next occurrence above my current location .
In iTerm (as of the iTerm2 Beta 2 release), the direction is reversed: to “Find Next” means to search upward and to “Find Previous” means to search downward.
If this drives you crazy like it does me, you can fix it!
Go to Preferences->Keys and create two custom Global Shortcut Keys:
- Map ⇧⌘G to “Select Menu Item…”->”Find Next”
- Map ⌘G to “Select Menu Item…”->”Find Previous”
Here’s a screenshot of my settings:

voilà!
