Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.10005]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): um? The windows terminal preview, current one in store

Any other software?
Used boht vim 8 and nano to test.

# Steps to reproduce

Open a multi line file in a terminal editor. I have tried both vim 8 and nano. In the editor attempt to hold the down key vim: j & nano: down arrow. The cursor will love down. However, when you release the key the cursor will continue to move down multiple lines past where stopped.

# Expected behavior

The expected is that the terminal be more response and when a key is released it is registered soon 

# Actual behavior

When released the editor continues to move for 5-7 lines of text.
