Description
I've used your manual
For best keybinding behavior, choose xterm defaults under Preferences->Profiles->Keys->Presets..., and select Esc+ for Left Option Key in the same menu. The newest versions also support true color.
But now in xterm ctrl + left/right are being used to move a word back/forward instead of alt.

OS:
Terminal: iTerm2
How to get back to use alt+arrows in terminal?

Research direction
Reproduce the reported behavior in iTerm2 using the manual’s xterm-default and Esc+ settings, first recording the missing OS, commit, and exact key events. No file or test is named; trace the terminal key-handling entry point and add coverage if the project provides a relevant test location. Done means Alt+Left/Right move by word as expected.
