Description

When left arrow is pressed while holding shift ], the letter D is typed instead of selecting text.

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version

  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

  • OS version and name: ubuntu 18.04 on xorg

  • Hyper.app version: Hyper 2.1.0-canary.2 from deb

  • Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: https://gist.github.com/monkeydri/4e3d8d184ec50f9b04bbe88c76a85bf2

  • Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): no error/log in console

  • The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: yes

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in vanilla Hyper 2.1.0-canary.2 on Ubuntu 18.04 under Xorg using the reported Shift+left-arrow input. Start by tracing keyboard handling for terminal text selection and compare it with the path that types D. Done means Shift+left-arrow selects text without inserting a character, with regression coverage if the relevant test location is found.
