Scroll-up and scroll-down keyboard shortcuts don't work

[correctmost]

Steps to reproduce

1. Run archinstall
2. Select "Timezone"
3. Press ctrl + up
   --> Notice that the selection only moves up one item
4. Press ctrl + down
   --> Notice that the selection only moves down one item

I would expect the selections to move up/down by a screen instead.

Version

This bug is present in 3.0.1 and the latest commit from master (c081f77)

Scrolling is only meant for preview windows as they do not have any interaction options.
For windows such as the time select pressing up and down achieves the same thing and there is a filter available as well

Oh, okay. I just tried ctrl + down in the "Save Configuration" window and it moves the selection down instead of scrolling the preview text on the side (the configuration text is long enough to scroll).

Are you on the latest release? If possible could you try master as well.

Sorry just read that you did. Okay let me try to reproduce it

[svartkanin]

I just tried master and it seems to work fine in the "Save configuration" view pressing ctrl+up and ctrl+down.

Thanks for testing. I am still able to reproduce the issue on the "Save configuration" screen inside of a desktop VM and on a laptop (with commit e7f2a8c).

I added some debug() statements and see MenuKeys.MENU_UP and MenuKeys.MENU_DOWN keys when I press ctrl + up and ctrl + down.

I am using standard en-US keyboards. Is there anything else that could differ between our systems?

[svartkanin]

As it's a VM I wonder if the ctrl key is not passed through properly. Could you try any other shortcut that contains ctrl to see if that works?

[correctmost]

Ctrl + h brings up the help dialog and ctrl + c brings up a reset prompt in "Disk configuration".

I see the same scroll issue on a laptop (no VMs involved), so I may have to add more debug statements to get more info.

@svartkanin
Do you use a terminal emulator for testing? I think it would be more appropriate to test in console. The ISO relies on the console so that is how most users will experience it. As this issue demonstrates, these environments will have differences in behavior.

@codefiles I was indeed testing on an emulator and managed to reproduce the issue on a console, thanks for pointing that out. It seems that the console is unable to combine any ctrl-up/down or even alt-up/down combinations.

I opted for using PgUp and PgDown for now as that seems to work.
