Option key on macOS

[aetheryx]

Hey everyone, made the switch to macOS recently and getting Micro set up again.

I read the macOS notes in > help keybindings about forwarding alt events. I'm using the warp terminal, which has a "Left option key is Meta" setting that I've enabled:

But Micro still seems to interpret my ArrowKey-Option commands as just ArrowKey commands. Using > raw, if I press Left and then Option+Left, I get:

EventKey: Left: "\x1b[D"
EventKey: Left: "\x1b[D"

I thought the issue might be with Warp not sending the modifier correctly, but showkey is able to distinguish the keys. Left is interpreted as <ESC>[D and Option+Left is interpreted as <CTL-A=SOH>.

Any ideas?
