Enhancement: Prevent swallowing selected Atom hotkeys about atom-terminal-tab HOT 5 OPEN

Are there any temporary workarounds for this?

I rant into this as well. Looking a little at the code, it seems that the terminal view sets the focus on the underlying xterm instance. It seems like xterm has it's own handlers of keys, and that's swallowing the input.

I was unable to remap the terminal-view hotkeys to anything prefixed with alt.

Temporary, no. However, I do have a branch where I'm working on solving all of these keybinding-related issues. Xterm allows you to register your own key event handler, so I'm exploring some options there for this particular issue. It's a bit of a complicated issue as to where the shortcuts should be bound, since sending them all to Atom could break or make unusable programs in the Terminal and vice-versa. Hope to have some progress on this soon.

I think ideally the user could list which bindings should be directed to the terminal, with all others directed to Atom. You could default the list to include a few obviously important terminal commands, like Ctrl-C.

It's been quite a while, so I assume this isn't getting resolved, correct @jsmecham?
