Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version
  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

Issue

I am unable to scroll through git log output. Pressing the up and down arrow keys on my keyboard does nothing, and triggers a Windows error chime (the kind that sometimes plays when you attempt to press backspace at the beginning of an input). I am, however, still able to exit the command by pressing Q.

I don't believe this is an issue with any plugin - I tested by emptying my plugins array and removing any custom config related to them. Hopefully that is sufficient enough to verify that.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Hyper.app on Windows 10 with a vanilla configuration and the git log command; the reported configuration is in .hyper.js. Start by tracing terminal keyboard handling for the arrow keys, then verify that the keys scroll the log output while Q still exits.
