> Modifier keys like Ctrl and Alt complicate this situation.

This is such an understatement. Alacritty required you to manually bind keys to control characters in the config and finding the control characters escape sequences were such a nightmare I gave up and switched to foot




The wonkiness of modifier keys is a constant barrier whenever I try to do anything to make a terminal environment more ergonomic. In the end I always go back to 100% IDEs and GUI document editors.


Looks like VTE finally fixed their bug regarding Ctrl+arrows etc. I have few issues now.
