Steps to reproduce

I am trying to set up a key binding with micro and they have a mode called raw which tracks what keys get sent.

1. scoop install micro
2. micro
3. CtrlE
4. raw
5. Press Ctrl/

Expected Behavior

EventKey: Ctrl-/

appears

Actual Behavior

EventKey: Ctrl-/

does not appear

Interesting. PowerShell seems to be able to read it.

PS> [console]::readkey()

KeyChar  Key Modifiers
-------  --- ---------
       Oem2   Control

as does showkey -a from Linux:

(ultraviolet) ~ % showkey -a

Press any keys - Ctrl-D will terminate this program

^_       31 0037 0x1f

The documented VT-100 encoding of Ctrl+/ (and Ctrl+Shift+/ or Ctrl+?) is \x1F. That tracks with the behavior you see when you clear bits 6-8 and set bit 5 on 0x2F / or 0x3F ? (which is effectively what the Control key does).

If micro is unable to read it, I suspect an issue on their end.

Thanks it's interesting that git bash which runs the micro does that, I wonder if I run micro in powershell if it would do that.

It doesn't it may be something in micro as well.

I think it may be something to with git bash now... SSH to a linux device with micro seems to get it to work.

showkey -a on Ubuntu in WSL works as expected as well. So far it's coming down to git bash, but I am going to try it without oh-my-posh

Without oh-my-posh so it's the default prompt it doesn't work either with git bash, it may be something that gets set on the terminal
