What's Wrong?

When pressing the forward slash (/) key on the numeric keypad, Claude Code displays the raw escape sequence [57410u in the input prompt instead of the expected / character.

Analysis:
The sequence [57410u is a CSI u (kitty keyboard protocol) escape sequence where 57410 is the keycode for KP_Divide (numeric keypad division/slash). It appears Claude Code's terminal input handler is not properly translating extended keyboard protocol sequences for numpad keys.

What Should Happen?

A forward slash / character should be inserted at the cursor position.

Steps to Reproduce
