I have tried adding the following to my ~/.inputrc but it doesn't work
"\e[1;9D": backward-word
"\e[1;9C": forward-word
What more do I need to do?

What key are you pressing? If you haven't already, take a look at how MacOS handles the Meta key: https://superuser.com/questions/649960/option-key-does-not-work-as-meta-in-tmux – davidmneedham Aug 24 '18 at 14:39

I'm pressing alt-back arrow and alt-forward arrow. I have also tried setting alt as meta or esc+. That didn't work either. – user1283776 Aug 24 '18 at 14:40

If you don't include the lines in your `~/.inputrc`, are you seeing the characters printed in your terminal? Did you add those lines due to [this question?](https://superuser.com/questions/324689/mac-9d-and-9c-from-alt-left-and-alt-right) – davidmneedham Aug 24 '18 at 14:41
