Description

Issue

The issue is that the alt key doesn't work when i try to use alt+arrowkey, since this is what's configured in my tmux to switch windows etc. As you can see in my hyper.js, I've added the metaIsKey option, but it still doesn't work at all. do you have any advice or something else?

Research direction

The report points to Hyper.app on Windows 10 and the linked .hyper.js configuration; reproduce Alt+Arrow in vanilla Hyper and compare it with the tmux window-switching behavior. Done means Alt+Arrow reaches tmux as expected, including when metaIsKey is enabled.
