Description

Describe the bug

When running wxt dev inside tmux, stdin appears hijacked by the dev process. Keystrokes typed in the browser are consumed by the keyboard shortcut handler instead of reaching the browser instance

Reproduction
  1. start a tmux session
  2. run wxt dev
  3. type something inside the launched browser instance
Steps to reproduce

No response
