Summary0001810: use arrow keys in the cli openmpt123
Description

basically use the arrow keys like in xmp. up/down navigate the play list, left/right navigate the file. The arrow keys can coexist with the current keys.

The arrow keys are not in use and are more intuitive then the current scheme

TagsNo tags attached.
Has the bug occurred in previous versions?
Tested code revision (in case you know it)

I consider this low priority for now because it would necessitate a dependency on some terminal management library (libncurses or something similar or lower level).

you misunderstood, i'm saying to just add the arrows as alternate keys to existing functionality, not make a full blown TUI.

left/right as h/l (seek 10s)

up/down as m/n (next/prev file)

similar to xmp

The escape sequences sent by terminals/terminal-emulators are dependent on the emulated terminal type. Handling that requires a terminal management library, there is no way around that.
