Wrong sequence on alt + arrow #239

@parisk

Description

@parisk

Pressing Alt + any arrow prints a character, instead of moving word backwards/forward etc.

Example: The terminal sends the \x1b[1;3D sequence, instead of \x1bb or \x1b[5D on Alt + (which seem to do the work).

Details

  • Browser and browser version: Chrome 52 on OS X
  • OS version: OS X El Capitan
  • xterm.js version: 4c3ccc2

Steps to reproduce

  1. Type a command (e.g. ls -la)
  2. Hit Alt +
  3. Expected: Cursor move to l (in la). Result: D gets printed.
