When I use Vim on my home Ubuntu computer, I am able to use alt-[key] as a quick way to jump from insert mode to normal mode and immediately run the [key] command. One thing I frequently do is: alt-j or alt-k from insert mode, where it immediately jumps up or down in normal mode. Unfortunately on mac iterm2, using alt-j does nothing and option-j likewise simply adds the ' character. How can I edit this to use option/alt in the same way?
