Cursor key detected as Escape on iTerm2 #5251
Description
The issue happens on iTerm2 under macOS, and doesn't happen in the stock Terminal app. When I press and hold the down arrow key, the minimal Textual application (see below) exits and prints ^[[B in the terminal. Looks similar to #4816.
from textual.app import App
class MyApp(App):
BINDINGS = [
("escape", "quit()", "Quit"),
]
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = MyApp()
app.run()Tried resetting iTerm2 settings to default values by deleting the ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist, but the issue still persists.
