macOS: Left arrow does not move cursor in SublimeREPL

[ltalluto]

When working with a SublimeREPL and a text document in multiple windows, the left arrow key is not functioning in the SublimeREPL window. In other words, if I type some text in SublimeREPL and then press the left arrow key, the cursor position in the console does not change. Instead, the cursor position changes in the text window (which is not the currently active window). Other arrow keys work as expected. Left arrow works as expected if the windows are stacked in tabs. This is macOS 10.11.6, Sublime build 3126, SublimeREPL 1.0.3.

Looks like this has been around for a while; see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39764076/left-arrow-and-home-key-stop-working-in-sublime-python-repl-after-making-repl-a

Same issue for me on Windows 10, though for me neither the left arrow, right arrow, home, nor end key works. As you say, the issue does not occur if the windows are stacked in tabs.

ST3 build 3126, SublimeREPL 2.1.2. Also, I've applied the patch suggested for fixing #271 (def is_alive(self): return True).

Thanks!
