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
  • OS version and name: Ubuntu 18.04
  • Hyper.app version: 3.02
  • Contents of your .hyper.js: In details below
  • The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Is Vanilla

Issue

I've got the following in my keymap:

    "tab:next": "ctrl+pageup",
    "tab:prev": "ctrl+pagedown"

but the keys aren't working (nothing happens when I hit the key). If I change the keymap to instead e.g. "ctrl+shift+pageup" then that does work. Just "ctrl+pageup" works in other apps on my system, e.g. Atom or Chrome for switching tabs, so I don't think its being captured by the system somehow. Thanks for any advice!

Research direction

Start from the keymaps entries in the reported .hyper.js configuration and trace how Hyper handles Ctrl+PageUp and Ctrl+PageDown on Ubuntu. Reproduce the issue with the shown bindings, then verify that both shortcuts switch to the next and previous tabs without changing the working Ctrl+Shift+PageUp behavior.
