can't get switching panes to work using arrow keys

[mmenti]

Hi, after trying all kinds of things, I can't get pane switching to work using the keyboard. I have enabled pane-hyper, and switching split panes using the numbers of the panes works, i.e. ctrl+alt+1, ctrl+alt+2 etc works fine, but whatever I try, I can't seem to get crtl+alt+up/down/left/right to work at all.

Hyper 1.3.3, hyper-pane 1.3.0, Dell XPS13 running Ubuntu 16.04. Any help/pointers appreciated, thanks!

Can you give me your config file?

This zip contains both the hyper-pane index.js and the main .hyper.js - let me know if you need anything else, thanks! config.zip

I'll try to reproduce but I'm suspecting that Ubuntu is catching ctrl+alt+<arrow> for one of its own keybindings. Note: You don't have to modify index.js to modify keys or debug flag. You should add it to your .hyper.jsconfig file under the key config.paneNavigationas (badly) explained in README

Thanks for the clarification! :) I actually just went back to Tillix to check the config there, where switching panes works using alt-left/alt-right etc (i.e. without the ctrl), and changing the config in .hyper.js to just use alt+right etc also seems to work in Hyper. So I think you're right, I'll take a closer look at it, pretty sure it's not related to hyper-pane itself... thanks for your time and help!

Actually, I'm having the same issue on macOS Sierra. (2015 rMBP) Here's my config file:

module.exports = {
  config: {
    // default font size in pixels for all tabs
    fontSize: 12,
    // font family with optional fallbacks
    fontFamily: 'Hack, Menlo, "DejaVu Sans Mono", Consolas, "Lucida Console", monospace',

    // terminal cursor background color and opacity (hex, rgb, hsl, hsv, hwb or cmyk)
    cursorColor: 'rgba(248,28,229,0.8)',

    // `BEAM` for |, `UNDERLINE` for _, `BLOCK` for █
    cursorShape: 'BLOCK',

    // color of the text
    foregroundColor: '#fff',

    // terminal background color
    backgroundColor: 'rgb(238,238,238)',

    // border color (window, tabs)
    borderColor: '#333',

    // custom css to embed in the main window
    css: '',

    // custom css to embed in the terminal window
    termCSS: 'x-row {line-height: 1}',

    // set to `true` if you're using a Linux set up
    // that doesn't shows native menus
    // default: `false` on Linux, `true` on Windows (ignored on macOS)
    showHamburgerMenu: '',

    // set to `false` if you want to hide the minimize, maximize and close buttons
    // additionally, set to `'left'` if you want them on the left, like in Ubuntu
    // default: `true` on windows and Linux (ignored on macOS)
    showWindowControls: '',

    // custom padding (css format, i.e.: `top right bottom left`)
    padding: '10px 8px 10px 8px',

    // the full list. if you're going to provide the full color palette,
    // including the 6 x 6 color cubes and the grayscale map, just provide
    // an array here instead of a color map object
    colors: {
      black: '#000000',
      red: '#ff0000',
      green: '#33ff00',

    },

    env: {},

    bell: false,

  ],

  localPlugins: []
};

@oalhait It works for me with your config file. Check your OS and other apps global keybindings.
