Description
micro's raw says that Ghostty and kitty are sending shiftF3 as \x1b[13;2~. This matches showkey, which outputs <ESC>[13;2~.
However, micro doesn't recognize this as shiftF3. When used as a keybind, you need to bind \u001b[13;2~.

Research direction
Start by tracing micro's key-sequence handling for the reported \x1b[13;2~ input. Use micro's raw and showkey to reproduce the sequence, then verify that Shift-F3 is recognized and can be used normally as a keybind without requiring the raw escape string.
