I tied to dig into commit history and I do not see any justification why ESC <left> could be omitted from default non-terminal bindings. I agree that the current behaviour is inconsistent. The fix is attached. Best, Ihor

This completes the ESC <arrow> binding group. ESC <right>, <up>, and <down> are already bound and missing ESC <left> can be confusing.
