Send modifier keys to the attached pane via .send_keys() #13

Description

@RPiAwesomeness

I really like the look of this project. However, for something that I need to do, I need to be able to send a modifier key, Ctrl to be exact.

I've tried a few different things and I'll continue looking around for a solution, but I figured I would post an issue here in case this is not currently possible.

    Would C-key work?

    For Ctrl-a, do C-a or ^-a

    @tony Unfortunately I already tried that and it just gives an error, both in zsh and and in bash:
    selection_004

    I'm considering making enter=False and suppress_history=False by default.

    Give this a shot, it worked for me:

    pane.libtmux.Server().sessions[0].attached_window.panes[0].

    Quick snippet:

    libtmux.Server().sessions[0].attached_window.panes[0].send_keys('C-c', enter=False, suppress_history=False)

    @tony Sorry for not responding soon, I was gone and didn't take any machines with me. I had to tweak your snippets to work, but running

    libtmux.Server().sessions[0].attached_window.panes[0].send_keys('C-c', enter=False, suppress_history=False)

    did work, it did seem to send Ctrl-C!
