Summary

Emacs style bindings in insert mode does not work in WSL2, for example, Ctrl-b causes "b" to be typed. Others are the same.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

Ubutu WSL2(WindowsTerminal.exe):

1. cargo install --path helix-term
2. hx test
3. press i into insert mode & press Ctrl-b, b to be typed

Most readline-like bindings have been removed on master:

• https://docs.helix-editor.com/master/keymap.html#insert-mode
• Remove default insert mode movement bindings #3671
• Revert #3671 – Reintroduce movement bindings in “insert”/editing mode? #3865
• Keep arrow and special keys in insert #3915

You can add bindings to your config to restore the ones you use:

[keys.insert]
C-b = "move_char_left"
