How can I configure Vim and MacVim to respond to control-arrow and meta-{h,l} key-presses? The configuration below is ignored by both.

I'm using iTerm2 (version 3.2.7), Tmux (version 2.8), and Vim (version 8.1, patch 1-950).

Vimrc:

map <Esc>[1;5D <C-Left>
map <Esc>[1;5C <C-Right>
nnoremap <C-S-Tab> :bprevious<CR>
nnoremap <C-Tab> :bnext<CR>
nnoremap <C-Left> :bprevious<CR>
nnoremap <C-Right> :bnext<CR>
nnoremap <M-h> :bprevious<CR>
nnoremap <M-l> :bnext<CR>

There are a number of posts already on this topic, aren't there? – B Layer Feb 21 '19 at 21:41

I honestly do not see why this is a new question: you are either struggling with configuration problems (see How to debug a mapping?) or with how to map Alt key?. I'd recommend to use the mappings proposed by vim-unimpaired which work cross platform and do not collide with other plugins. BTW are you sure you want to map :bnext to three different keys in normal mode? free key combos in normal mode are precious. – Hotschke Feb 22 '19 at 08:10
