Apparently changing $TERM from `screen-256color` to `tmux-256color` in tmux to try and get italics working in nvim totally mangled ghostty.

I looked into infocmp and other tricks to try and and figure out why the backspace key was throwing gibberish around, but I had no interest in debugging such an inscrutable thing through so many layers.

I don't fault ghostty for things like this, but at the same time it's hard not to scorn the tools you want to be invisible, even if making unreasonable demands of them on accident.
