Keyboard arrow keys not working for scrolling from STDIN, rather shows keycode of the key pressed #1006
Description
What version of bat are you using?
bat 0.15.0
Describe the bug you encountered:
Using keys to scroll through the long STDIN is emitting keycodes, rather than actually scrolling down. Some terminal details:-
terminal
--------
kitty 0.17.4 created by Kovid Goyal
exports(relevant ones)
---------------------
export BAT_PAGER="less -RF"
export EDITOR="nvim"
export TERMINAL="kitty"Context
I was trying to pass the stdin from the node/npm package makemehapi to bat.
npx makemehapi print | batThe content was a lengthy output. Thus i tried scrolling with arrow keys like i usually do. But currently the keycodes of the key pressed is displayed rather than actually scrolling down.
- Pressing Enter key somehow forwards down the line, but still some junk characters are added
cat longFile | batworks just fine. Arrow keys work there.
Content with paging and error - keycodes of arrow keys displayed at bottom
Content with paging and --show-all and error - keycodes of arrow keys displayed at bottom
Things I have tried
- commented the whole bashrc and error persists
- tried
bat --pager=neverstill no use - tried
bat --no-configstill no use
...
Describe what you expected to happen?
...
To be able to scroll through the long content using arrow keys or even Page Down/UP keys without having to press ENTER for each line.

Create a server which responds to requests to /?name=Handling using a
template located at templates/index.html which outputs the following HTML:
<html>
<head><title>Hello Handling</title></head>
<body>
Hello Handling
</body>
</html>

##HINTS
This exercise requires you to install the vision module, which is a hapi
plugin for rendering templates. You'll need to register the plugin in your
code in order to render your templates:
var Vision = require('vision');
await server.register(Vision);
The view key can be used to define the template to be used to generate the
response.
handler: {
view: "index.html"
}
server.views() is the server method that we use to configure the templates
used on our server. This method receives a configuration object in which
we can set different engines based on file extension. This object can also
set a directory path for your templates.
server.views({
engines: {
html: require('handlebars')
},
path: Path.join(__dirname, 'templates')
});
In this exercise, we'll be using Handlebars. To install handlebars:
npm install handlebars
With Handlebars templates, you can render a variable directly in HTML by
surrounding the variable with curly braces, e.g. {{foo}}.
The template receives some information from the request. For example, the
query parameters that were passed in via the URL are available in the
query object. These parameters can then be used in the template. Query
params get automatically parsed and aren't declared in the route path.
<div>{{query.paramName}}</div>
