Bug Description
claude code does not recognize fixterm key encodings and spits the fixterm encoding into the input box
this is very unintuitve for users

Use ghostty and use a keybind with a modifier so it will have a fixterm representation (ghostty uses fixterm by default users have to override the keybind manually)shift + enter to do a newline in the prompt is a easy way to achieve this
Expected Behavior

Actual Behavior
fixterm encoding is thrown into input box
