Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.0
Windows Terminal version:  0.7.3291.0

Any other software?
- Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
- byobu version 5.106
- tmux 2.1

Note

This issue is a follow-on to #3101. In that issue superfluous keys were being generated. Now it appears no keys are being generated. Alt arrows are dead to me.

Steps to reproduce

  • Start Byobu: byobu
  • Create a new Byobu tab: F2
  • Press alt left or alt right to switch between the tabs

Expected behavior

Byobu switches between the two tabs.

Actual behavior

Nothing happens.
