Description

on macOS, in all standard applications, terminal.app, spotlight, C-M-f goes forward by a word, C-M-b backwards, in Hyper, it does nothing. C-f, C-b, C-a, C-e seem to work fine.

if only the preferences pane would open so I could see if there is an option to enable Meta.

Research direction

Use the reported macOS behavior as the starting case and trace Hyper's keyboard and Meta handling. Done means C-M-f and C-M-b move by words in Hyper as they do in the cited applications, while C-f, C-b, C-a, and C-e continue to work.
