ble intercepts the bindings for inshellisense, another completion engine that uses it's own gui menu widget.

in non-ble bash the behavior is tab/up/down/escape interacts with the completion menu when active, otherwise normal shell bindings.

I fully understand if this isn't a high priority, I know I'm probably an edge case (and you're mainly a completion engine), but putting the issue out there in case this is larger than just inshellisense.

In my understanding, Inshellisense is working at the terminal level. Since ble.sh just processes the byte sequence it receives from the terminal, ble.sh doesn't have a way to interfere with Inshellisence, which works inside the terminal. If anything can affect the behavior of Inshellisence, maybe Inshellisence only works in a specific mode of the terminal. For example, ble.sh turns on the modifyOtherKeys mode of the terminal. @NireBryce Could you check if the behavior of Inshellisence changes with the following setting?

# ~/.blerc

bleopt term_modifyOtherKeys_external=

The config line doesn't make it work for kitty but it does seem to be terminal-specific, kitty breaks but it works on konsole. I'll try to poke around tomorrow

@NireBryce Thank you for the information.

I'll try to poke around tomorrow

Do you have any updates on this?

@NireBryce The upstream inshellisense seems to have added a fix. Could you test if the problem is fixed?
