Fixing mosh failing on MacOS
macos mosh locale terminal iterm console

TLDR

Problem: trying to connect to a remote server with mosh you see error messages like:

mosh-client needs a UTF-8 native locale to run.
mosh-server needs a UTF-8 native locale to run.
The locale requested by LC_CTYPE=UTF-8 isn't available here.
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory

OR when connecting with ssh from iTerm2 you get the error message

-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8): No such file or directory

This is just a quick note for how to make Home and End keys behave sensibly, i.e. take you to the beginning or end of a line:
