Hyper: unable to page scroll using alt using tmux

[fpereira1]

Hi,

Just logging an issue that I am unable to scroll pages by holding the alt in tmux. Line scroll works fine (without holding the alt key)

I am using version 0.7.1.36 on mac.

Otherwise, for me, tmux works great 👍

It's tricky because we also use alt as a modifier for alt -> arrows I believe. @marcbachmann

This could be related to #213

tmux uses the meta-key right?

I'm using the following key combination to page up in OSX:

• Ctrl+B
• Fn+Up and Fn+Down

[fpereira1]

@koresar you're right, that works! I have just always used:

• Ctrl+B
• Alt+Up and Alt+Down

@fpereira1 Does this mean the issue is resolved?

@CodeTheory I'd say that using Fn+Up and Fn+Down (which are actually the same thing as the Page Up and Page Down keys on most laptops) is just a workaround.

This issue is more a duplicate of #213.

@CodeTheory, as @rauchg pointed out, alt is used as a modifier to control jump to previous words in the terminal (PR #217). I guess the issue is that alt is not being sent to the hterm. This is not an issue for me anymore because of the workaround.

@fpereira1 I do want to reconsider whether alt instead of command is a good idea, and whether we should send alt to the terminal. @marcbachmann

My tmux scrolling with mousewheel setup doesn't work at all. Sometimes freezes hyper. 😞

In my tmux.conf I have:
set -g mouse on

I don't know if this is related.

I think it is fixed.
(related to altIsMeta and cmdIsMeta options)
