I have not used tmux much before and I do not know much about terminals but there was this section in a page: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Modifier-Keys#tmux-is-recognizing-the-key

I was testing using xterm and tmux 3.1c but TERM was set as screen by default so keys pressed together with modifier keys were being written in micro. The keys were being handled and not written in micro when TERM was set to tmux-256color. I tried testing using tmux 3.3a too but TERM was set as tmux-256color by default.
