Re: mutt/1911: macro expansion produces "editor" function instead of literal string when using "^A" (caret + character) in input lines for ctrl-chars bound in "editor" keymap



Synopsis: macro expansion produces "editor" function instead of literal string 
when using "^A" (caret + character) in input lines for ctrl-chars bound in 
"editor" keymap

 I couldn't trace it back to the cause.
I looked at km_dokey (keymap.c), mutt_enter_string (enter.c) and 
mutt_getch/ungetch (curs_lib.c).

Is this a library bug (ncurses)? Shouldn't be, since pasting with a mouse 
doesn't produce this.

It's not limited to ^A being misinterpreted as CTRL-A, works
with ^U, too,
in fact with any "editor" bound ctrl-chars.
