alacritty: Alt, home, end and possibly other keys don't function as expected.

System

OS: Windows 10 Version: 0.7.1 (a852eb8)

Logs

alacritty --print-events | grep "ReceivedCharacter" returns only the letter characters I type while holding down alt. It doesn’t return anything for home and end either.

I did see that this thread claimed this issue to be fixed, but I’m not sure, if I have to apply the linked fix manually, or if I have a separate problem.

I guess we’ll have to throw that in with all the other keybinding issues of winit. Though you can solve this by mapping things yourself, which obviously isn’t a solution.

There’s already a lot of issues open on the Alacritty issue tracker about this though, so I’d recommend just following the upstream issue to stay updated: https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/pull/1788.
