   I have a few tools on my bbs written in bash or python which   
   prompts the user to type into a field. The normal characters output   
   properly, but if I use backspace, I end up getting some sort of ascii   
   output of the key values. Or something. Below is the screen output for each   
   key I press. I don't care if arrows work or not. But I'd like backspace   
   to work as designed instead of spamming my screen.   
      
   Key              Output   
   Backspace        ^H   
   Right arrow      ^[[C   
   Left Arrow       ^[[D   
      
   So I can't even erase what I have in the field and need to start   
   over every time.   
      
   I've tried to explicitly define those keys as what they are in   
   code but, my skills need improvement because none of it worked. I tried   
   using AI in the past but it gave me some bugged crap that took more time   
   to debug than it would've taken if I just coded it on my own. I'm asking   
   for insight from yalls fine people. What can I do to fix this? I'm   
   hoping the solution is simple.    
      
   Using syncterm 1.8b updated Oct 6, 2025.   
      
   Thanks,
