Description

Commit hash: cfcb2e45
OS: Windows 10 with ssh to Ubuntu 20.04.2
Terminal: Windows Terminal

When pressing the Home or End key, instead of jumping to the corresponding position, micro writes [H] respective [F].
Same with Ctrl + Home/End, which writes [1;5H]resp. [1;5F]

What have I misconfigured and how can I fix this?
Thanks a lot!

Research direction

Reproduce the Home, End, Ctrl+Home, and Ctrl+End behavior in micro using Windows Terminal on Windows 10 with SSH to Ubuntu 20.04.2, then trace how the reported escape sequences are handled. Done means these keys move to the corresponding line or document position instead of inserting visible bracketed sequences.
