How to change binding in zsh? command key vs control key
Install the awesome, free Karabiner-Elements app.
Install the &quot;Keyboard shortcuts for Terminal apps&quot; mod.

Then, instead of using ^W, ^U, ^A, etc., you can just use the modifier keys (⌘/⌥/⌃) plus the arrow/delete keys (↑/↓/←/→/⌫/⌦), just as you do in the rest of macOS.
Don't like those exact mappings? Just git clone https://github.com/pqrs-org/KE-complex_modifications.git and write your own mod.
