DEPRECATED: An experimental (hacky) plugin to allow moving the cursor by alt+click'ing in hyper -- much like iTerm and Terminal.app

THIS PACKAGE IS NOW DEPRECATED

In Hyper 2, XTerm is used instead of HTerm -- which comes with native support for alt+click. This means that as long as you are using Hyper 2, you do not need this plugin.

See https://github.com/zeit/hyper/issues/316 for updates.

hyper-alt-click

An experimental (hacky) plugin to allow moving the cursor by alt+clicking in hyper. Very early in development.

Screenshot

DISCLAIMER: This plugin is essentially one giant hack due to the limited API provided by Hyper. Use it with caution! Actual support should be added to hyper core. Unless someone finds a better way than this!

Installation

add hyper-alt-click to ~/.hyper.js's plugin list.

{
	//...
	plugins: ["hyper-alt-click"],
}

You may need to restart hyper.

FAQ

Does it work on windows?

No idea, but I don't see why not.

Does it work in VIM/Nano/Etc...

Not yet, as it cant seem to handle the new lines. This is possible though in a future version and with more research.

Why experimental/hacky?
