Could not bind `alt-n`

Basically, I am trying to bind alt-n to editor:move-line-down, after I save my settings, the new keybinding doesn't work(only output a letter).

Thanks

This is because alt-n and several other alt keybindings are used to insert characters with accents and the key events return the same keycode for them, you can read more about it here https://github.com/atom/atom/pull/1291

The pull request was never merged because there was some discussion on fixing this in a different location than via a hack on the input element.
