Why `Option+RightArrow` triggers `Creates a new feature (Gitflow) branch from current branch.` in vscode terminal?

My VSCode keyboard shortcuts settings:
I don't have any idea. You can always change that shortcuts with your own.
But please provide more context and info like OS, Fish, Gitnow versions.
I ran into this recently with the bultin mac terminal app. I believe it's because of the option "Use Option as Meta key" (and I believe many shells on mac use this behavior by default), and the escape sequence to move forward a word in bash is Meta + F (Meta + B triggers the sequence to go back a word), so now you can do Option + F to move forward. Option + -> is a common key binding on top of this behavior
With gitnow, Option + F does something different, but Option + -> triggers it due to the keybinding, so rather than move forward one word, it instead triggers the gitnow Option + F keybinding.
Hope that makes sense.

@weichengwu I was playing around a bit and for some reason, if you enter fish_key_reader in your VSCode terminal and then type Option+RightArrow then you will get bind \ef 'do something' (\ef is the keybinding for creating a feature branch).
BUT if you try the same in another terminal, let's say Iterm2 then you will get bind \e\e\[C 'do something' (right behavior).
So I have no idea why that happens on VSCode but I assume that it is something specific to the VSCode terminal.
I will close this issue since it is not something about Gitnow but more about terminal key settings. Feel free to open it again if it's needed.
@joseluisq It happens for me in Terminal as well, so it's not specific to VSCode. See #47 (comment). That said it's easy to change gitnow's keybindings so I'm not sure it needs a change.

Sorry, I missed your comment. Yeah then it is more like terminal apps settings or gitnow keybindings setup in general.
