Using Miniterm in Windows CMD.exe generates junk characters when navigation keys pressed

[cefn]

At line 126 in miniterm.py the hex value 0x0e should actually read 0xe0

pyserial/serial/tools/miniterm.py

Line 126 in b178d12

elif z in (unichr(0), unichr(0x0e)): # functions keys, ignore

The current value doesn't filter character sequences as it should (like arrow up, arrow down, page up, page down, home, end which are prefixed with a byte with integer value 224 (hex: 0xe0), following https://www.computerhope.com/ansisys.htm).

This means nav keys are sent through directly making junk characters on the terminal.

There is now a fix for this combined with other Windows 10 compatibility fixes which may be merged from #351 As a short-term workaround, the patched miniterm.py can be downloaded on its own from https://github.com/cefn/pyserial/blob/035053d61d3fc54a71914fd77da22e75b2779c26/serial/tools/miniterm.py

It has been proven to work with full arrow key, home key, tab, backspace support and more using this reference invocation on Windows 10.0.17134 connecting to a Vanguard board running stock Micropython 1.9.4
