Hi, and thanks for the report!
We could add these keys to the enum, but the main issue is going to be backend support. As far as I know, there is no easy way for a terminal application to know when the Alt
key was pressed by itself. It's unfortunate, but is a result of the very limiting interface between a terminal emulator and the application running inside.
In theory, other backends (like BearLibTerminal, or some javascript canvas backends) would be free of these limitations and could catch and return these events. I'm just worried that because it would be unsupported for most "regular" backends, it would be confusing for most users. Rather, I'm thinking of allowing backends to define custom events for users who know they're using this backend.
But in the general case or running inside a terminal, we just have to accept that some key events are just not available. :(
Note that if you find an event that is sent to the application by the terminal and is not currently supported, then I'm absolutely open to adding support! Especially if ncurses/crossterm/... detects it.

is there a way to directly access the backend im using? Im using crossterm, it seems like this would be a lower level feature and it would involve a lot of conditional compiling. But it feels like its worth exploring
