When I blur the terminal pane (WezTerm), [O shows up in the input; when I focus the terminal pane (WezTerm), [I shows up in the input. These two reporting are activated when there are multiple terminal panes in the same tab on WezTerm.

What Should Happen?

These two events should be handled gracefully by Claude Code. It could also be explored as user behavioral metrics.
