Pregunta
I have been a long time user of the standard Mac Terminal. Decided to experiment with iTerm2 after hearing good things about it from my colleagues.
One of the more useful features I am seeing on iTerm2 is its split panes (much like vim split buffers).
In vim, I can move between split buffers using Ctrl+W+arrowkeys
. Is there a keyboard shortcut for iTerm2 to move between panes as well?
Solución
Cmd] and Cmd[ navigates among split panes in order of use.

Cmd+opt+←/↑/→/↓ navigate similarly to vim's C-w hjkl.
⌘+⌥+←/↑/→/↓ will let you navigate split panes in the direction of the arrow, i.e. when using ⌘+D to split panes vertically, ⌘+⌥+← and ⌘+⌥+→ will let you switch between the panes.
there is configuration in the following way:
Preferences -> keys -> Navigation shortcuts
the 3rd option: shortcut to choose a split pane is "no shortcut" by default, we can choose one
cheers
I was using Terminator before, so I found it convenient to re-map Alt + arrow-key to switch between the panes. This can be done in Preferences -> Keys -> Key Mappings - press the '+' button to add a mapping. Also, in my case such a mapping was already defined in Profiles, I simply removed it.

- ⌘+⌥+[ goes left top
- ⌘+⌥+] goes bottom right
