Interesting.

One of the common key sequences generated by the "up" key is ^[[A (in 
other words, escape-leftbracket-A). It almost looks like what-key saw 
only the last part of that.

What do you get in a shell if you type control-V then control-up?

On my system, I get: ^[[1;5A

So, on my system, the way to bind that to something in mutt would be:

     bind    index    <esc>[1;5A    previous-entry

Since that key sequence doesn't have a name in the termcap, the 
what-key function treats its components individually (it just showed 
you the last letter: A).

Oh, in SCREEN? You didn't mention that before. That's probably going 
to make it a bit unreliable.
