Wrong sequence on alt + arrow

[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.

@parisk
i think it should implement with customKeydownHandler on userland.
the reason why is, we can't use each keymaps properly under 8324b43.
for example, my personal config in Vim is,
ctrl+left/right back/forward word
alt+arrow move cursor between splitted windows
however, now, i can't use alt+arrow for move windows...

Yeah I agree. It's pretty easy to hook up a handler if you want it in Sourcelair. We could even consider allowing multiple handlers and putting this in an addon?
