Description
I've customized my terminal to send linux keybindings from the macos keyboard. This works great for most applications but causes an issue with micro because it revents ctrl/alt to the macos default terminal keys.
It would be great if I could pass a parameter or configure micro on my macOS machine to use the Linux key bindings.

Research direction
Start by tracing how micro selects keybindings on macOS and where terminal key handling is configured. Determine whether the requested Linux keybinding mode belongs behind a parameter or configuration option, and verify that macOS users can select it without changing existing defaults.
