One option that I didn't try to go for -
-X is a workaround for the previous behavior of -F, but it's not a great
solution. By not sending the terminal init sequence, some things can be
broken, depending on the terminal. For example, some terminals send the
"wrong" sequences for the arrow keys when the terminal doesn't receive
