Integrated Terminal Option+Arrow no longer jumps words

[Tyriar]

• VSCode Version: 1.4
• OS Version: OSX 10.11.4

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open Integrated Terminal
2. Use Option/Alt+Left Arrow or Option+Right Arrow

Expected: Cursor moves forward and back words.
Actual: Prints character codes to the terminal line (;3D;3C) for Option+Left, Option+Right

This works as expected in VSCode 1.3.1.

@bfsmith could you try repro this on https://github.com/sourcelair/xterm.js ?

It repro's there as well.

@bfsmith thanks for checking, I'm going to move the issue over there.

Shouldn't this be fixed after #240?

[Tyriar]

Yeah should be. I created #264 which outlines my new thoughts on this.

[Tyriar]

This is not fixed on Mac, \x1b[1;5D does not skip words on bash on Mac?

[parisk]

Marking this as a bug.

I believe this is an issue with bash on macOS - I can't reproduce on the demo, from either macOS or Ubuntu.

Local terminal has the same issue as with Xterm.js on VS code.

I'm seeing the expected behavior using the macOS Terminal app (shown below) and in iTerm2.

I repro'd the issue on the demo app on macOS Sierra

Closed in #417.
