Description
When using Windows Terminal (or st terminal under Linux) to SSH into a remote Linux server and running Micro text Editor , holding down a control key sequence like Ctrl+K (used to cut a line in micro) only triggers the action once, instead of repeating it continuously as long as the key is held.
However, when using the same setup with Nano, Ctrl+K is repeated as expected while the key is held.
This issue is not present when using local shells
This issue is not present when held down simple key (like char a or z etc)

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by running Micro over SSH from Windows Terminal or st, holding Ctrl+K, and comparing it with Nano and a local shell. Trace how Micro receives repeated control-key input over the remote terminal; done means Ctrl+K repeats while held over SSH without changing the existing local or character-key behavior.
