I'm using MacOS 10.14.3 and the Python 3.7 curses module to print the values returned when I press the up or down directional keys:



import curses

def main(stdscr):
win = curses.newwin(24, 80, 0, 0)
y = 0
while True:
ch = win.getch()
win.addstr(y, 0, str(ch))
y += 1

curses.wrapper(main)


When I press up, this prints:



27
91
65


When I press down, it prints:



27
91
66


From the docs, getch should be returning 258 (curses.KEY_UP) or 259 (curses.KEY_DOWN), respectively. Any idea what could be causing this behavior? Is my terminal misconfigured?
