Option + Arrow not working in image demo.

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

bug

What’s the current behavior?

Noticed this when evaluating slate: In the image demo, trying to move the cursor with Option + Left/Right Arrow (macos)

For the text above the image, option + left arrow works as expected, but option + right arrow moves only 1 character per keypress.

For the text below the image, it’s the opposite: option + right arrow works, while option + left arrow moves 1 char at a time.

Tried in macos 10.13, Chrome, FF, Safari

What’s the expected behavior?

The option key should modify the cursor behavior to move words in both directions.

@PierBover Yep you should be able to override this default with a custom event handler.

The Slack channel is not very active and the docs are either outdated or focused on the end user (not the contributor).

In my experience usually someone will answer within a few hours in the slack channel if you have a question, at least in PST time. And yea, there aren’t really any docs on the codebase itself AFAIK; but it is pretty easy to read in general, I’ve just been learning as I go.
