Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.4.2382.0

Any other software? wsl + emacs

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open emacs within wsl in Windows Terminal.
  2. Type either of the following:
    • M-> (alt + greater than) to move to the end of the file
    • M-< (alt + less than) to move to the beginning of the file
  3. Verify the key emacs is seeing, by typing C-h k (Ctrl+h, k) for describe key - then type either of the above key combinations.

Expected behavior

M-> moves to the end of the file.
M-< moves to the beginning of the file.
C-h k M-> displays M-> as the command run.
C-h k M-< displays M-< as the command run.

Actual behavior

M-> does not move to the end of the file.
M-< does not move to the beginning of the file.
C-h k M-> displays M-. as the command run.
C-h k M-< displays M-, as the command run.
