Unable to use the emote picker on macOS. #625

Closed mtane0412 closed 4 months ago

mtane0412 commented 4 months ago

Describe the bug: The Alt + e key implements an emote picker in #506, but there is no Alt key in macOS. The alternative option + e is used as a modifier key for accents. I have tried other modifier keys, but nothing happens.

To Reproduce:

Go to input mode with kitty on macOS
press Option + e
nothing happens. If you type alphabets continuously, they will be entered with accents. (ex. é )

Expected behavior: emote picker opens

Screenshots:

System:

Twitch-tui version:2.6.13

Operating System: macOS Sonoma Version 14.2.1

Terminal: Kitty 14.2.1

Shell: zsh 5.9 (x86_64-apple-darwin23.0)

Additional context: I use M2 Macbook Air and US Keyboard, Japanese Input System.

I'll be sure to add this in the documentation, just in case it happens to other users.
