Shift up/down arrow does not slide rows

[SteveJSteiner]

shift left/right arrow slides columns the same as using H and L.
It would seem shift left/down/up/right arrow should be consistent with commands bound to uppercase H J K L.

From the help:
H J K L slide current row/column left/down/up/right

This was reproduced on a Mac, attempting to move rows in the column

Hi @SteveJSteiner! Thanks for the report. This is a known issue, due to the Shift-Up/Down reporting inconsistent characters (on the Mac, I think they might even be indistinguishable from plain Up/Down). Which terminal are you using? If you can figure out how to get the terminal to emit any specific curses key for shift up/down (the last keypress is always displayed in the lower right status), you can put an alias() in your .visidatarc. Please comment again if you do find something that works, as you're not the only one with this issue.

Interesting. I'm using the default terminal. I think it is called terminal.app.
This worked for me:

https://github.com/google/terminal-app-function-keys provides mappings for a bunch of keys.
I added the shift up/down ones by hand in the 'preferences' for the terminal.app. (Took a second to realize I needed to hit ESC to get \033 in the UI.)
That changes what is emitted to 'Key_SR' and 'KEY_SF'.

Then following your suggestion above, I added this to .visidatarc:
alias('KEY_SR','K')
alias('KEY_SF','J')
