Research direction
Start by reproducing the modifier-plus-arrow-key input in the PythonAnywhere console using Micro at commit c51f849, then compare it with other arrow-key combinations. Trace how the terminal input is interpreted and identify why the escape-like codes are inserted as text. Done means these combinations no longer type the unwanted codes while ordinary arrow keys continue to work.
