Description
Hi iSH team!
Some keys are not working in iSH as I expect, neither with virtual keyboard, nor with physical bluetooth keyboard.
In the terminal prompt:
- [Ctrl]+[Left arrow] should go to previous word
- [Ctrl]+[Right arrow] should go to next word
- [Home] should go to start of line
- [End] should go to end of line
In the nano editor, according to documentation and behaviour in standard alpine:
- [Ctrl]+[Up arrow] should go to previous block of text
- [Ctrl]+[Down arrow] should go to next block of text
- [Ctrl]+[Left arrow] should go to previous word
- [Ctrl]+[Right arrow] should go to next word
- [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Up arrow] should select previous block of text
- [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Down arrow] should select next block of text
- [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Left arrow] should select next word
- [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Right arrow] should select previous word
- [Home] should go to start of line
- [End] should go to end of line
- [Ctrl]+[Home] should go to start of file
- [Ctrl]+[End] should go to end of file
- [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Home] should select from start of file
- [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[End] should select to end of file
After many unsuccessful attempts, I believe that key codes are just not forwarded by iSH, but I may be wrong.
Is there anything I can do to make those keys work as expected in iSH?
Thanks a lot for your help on this issue! :-)
Kind regards,
Maurice
