I have been a happy termite user for years, but that project was abandoned recently and superseded by alacritty. The problem is that a Vim session launched in alacritty ignores key combinations with Ctrl. At least Ctrl+End, Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+PgDown and Ctrl+PgUp are unresponsive.

I opened an issue at the alacritty repository, but it was closed by the developer. The reason being that these key combinations all function in neovim.

I would not like to learn another text editor already, been with vim for just over a year and has been a sizeable investment. Is there any way to get these key combinations functioning with alacritty?

Update: system set up is reported at the GitHub issue, but reproduced here for convinience:

  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • alacritty 0.7.2
  • vim 8.1
  • i3 4.17
