Description

Steps to repro:
1. Launch Windows CMD
2. `dolt sql`
3. type some stuff
4. ALT + TAB away
5. ALT + TAB back
6. Terminal now behaves as if `ALT` key is being held down
i. pressing `f` and `b` will move cursor forward and backward one word
ii. `d` deletes word ahead of cursor
iii. `BACKSPACE` deletes word behind cursor
iv. etc

This also happens with Git CMD on Windows and Git BASH through Terminal App

Forunately, pressing ALT again restores normal dolt sql shell behavior
