Hyper: Option-arrow does not act like terminal.app

[jesseditson]

When modifying commands in other terminal apps (and text editors), option-arrow acts like the b and w commands in vi, jumping to the next word boundary. In hyperterm, it instead prints ;3D and makes the ^G noise.

Note that option-delete acts as expected, deleting to the nearest word boundary.

Great find @jesseditson

I get the same behavior in iTerm, it prints: [C to right and [D to left, weird

Unfortunately, this is a non-starter for me :(

+1. This and Option+Backspace is killer features for me.

+1. 15 minutes using the HyperTerm and tried to use the Opt+Arrow Left. ;3D on my face!

This is also going to make it hard for me to switch. Is there documentation somewhere on how plugging into key-bindings?

Same here, after finding and tweaking a great theme, I hit alt+delete and nothing happens :(

This is in the process of being fixed.

I use option + b and option + f quite a bit.

@adamstac The following config works for me for option + b and option + f:

module.exports = {
  config: {
    modifierKeys: {
      altIsMeta: true
    }
  }
}

Thanks @liancheng, that makes Alt+Backspace work which was driving me crazy!
Unfortunately Alt+Left and Alt+Right still don't work...

This doesn't seem to work yet. Maybe the ticket should be re-opened?
