Shortcuts with arrows don't work

[Alex-Momotov]

Hi,

I am trying to create shortcuts that move between terminal tabs ('platformio-ide-terminal:prev' and 'platformio-ide-terminal:next'). However, the shortcuts don't work if the desired key combination involves arrow keys. For example, the following doesn't work:
'.platform-darwin .platformio-ide-terminal .terminal':
'cmd-alt-left': 'platformio-ide-terminal:prev'
'cmd-alt-right': 'platformio-ide-terminal:next'

Atom: 1.41.0
OS: Mac Mojave

@Alex-Momotov its a limitation of term.js which is abandoned project on which platformio-ide-terminal currently depends, See #426 if interested. We would need to move to xterm which means updating to support the xterm.js API.

This project is fully community driven since #543 this means any support, fixes and additions are provided by the community.

If you can help out, It would be appreciated.

Please note this project is also superseded by https://github.com/bus-stop/terminus which is a fork where it is planned to decaffeinate the project so contributions are welcome.

Thanks for your understanding.

Also you dont need to create shortcuts for this, they already exist and work, granted not arrows but its better than nothing in the meanwhile

platformio-atom-ide-terminal/keymaps/platformio-ide-terminal.cson

Lines 3 to 4 in f610844

	'cmd-shift-j': 'platformio-ide-terminal:prev'
	'cmd-shift-k': 'platformio-ide-terminal:next'

Thank you for such a detailed response, I really appreciate it. I am mainly a java and python dev, so not sure this can be much of help for the project. Yup, I'm aware of those shortcuts, just wanted to create a more natural experience since 'cmd-alt-left' and 'cmd-alt-right' is what most browsers use. Thanks for your help!

This is related to #807

So Ill mark it as duplicate, this issue is cross platform, but term.js or atom idk at this time.
