Alt and arrow keys insert characters into the terminal buffer instead of navigating to the begging and ends of words in the integrated terminal

Environment:
OS: OS X El Capitan
Version: VSCode 1.5.2

Repro:

  1. Open Integrated terminal
  2. Type 'cd ~/'
  3. Press Alt + Left Arrow

Expected:
Cursor should jump to begin of ~/ so ~ is highlighted

Actual
;5D is inserted into the buffer at cursors current location

I think this will be fixed when we uplevel xterm.js via xtermjs/xterm.js@8324b43

Is this fixed? I Just updated to 1.6.0 and am still seeing the issue in the integrated terminal.

It doesn't seem to be on Mac only. I reopened the upstream issue xtermjs/xterm.js#225

Is this related to Alt+Backspace not working?
