//! Translating key events into the bytes a terminal would send.
//!
//! Input reaches a pane as raw bytes, not as tmux key names. `send-keys Up`
//! would work for simple cases, but tmux's key-name table and crossterm's
//! `KeyCode` do not agree at the edges — modified function keys, `BackTab`,
//! `Ctrl` on punctuation — and a mismatch there is invisible until an agent
//! receives the wrong keystroke. Encoding to bytes here and sending them
//! verbatim keeps one table instead of two.
//!
//! The encodings follow xterm, which is what `TERM=xterm-256color` promises the
//! program on the other end.
