Ghostty sets TERM=xterm-ghostty and (on macOS) TERMINFO pointing to its bundled terminfo. That terminfo describes keys in keypad transmit mode (kcuu1=\EOA, khome=\EOH, ...), but this library never emits smkx, so the terminal actually sends the normal-mode sequences (\E[A, \E[H, ...) and every special key is reported as an unrecognized escape sequence. Treat xterm-ghostty like xterm/xterm-256color: use the built-in xterm key table instead of the terminfo entry, which matches what Ghostty emits in normal mode.
