Option to disable alt-click move cursor to position behavior
See original GitHub issueHi all,
I’ve been running into an issue that I don’t see reported yet in this repo, so I’d like to bring it up.
The issue is described here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/101136. When alt-clicking in the vscode terminal, if the program doesn’t support (something), the screen can fill up with “^[[D” or “^[[C” characters.
Here’s a screenshot:
In the above vscode issue, @Tyriar linked this PR: https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/pull/896 which seems to have added the alt-click feature. There’s apparently no way to disable it, and there’s no workaround.
Changing the "editor.multiCursorModifier"
setting was suggested as a workaround, but it didn’t work for me.
Thanks
