Terminal input stops working in git commands that use pager, when run from xonsh

[benwr]

Summary

If I run any git command in the terminal that uses a pager (e.g. git log, git diff), all input to that terminal seems to be totally disconnected; it shows up at the bottom of the terminal pane, but doesn't do anything. This includes control sequences that should (e.g.) exit the pager or suspend it, so that terminal becomes unusable.

This only happens when I run those commands from xonsh (not from zsh), and it doesn't happen if I invoke a pager directly (e.g. less README).

This doesn't happen in iTerm2 or Terminal.app, so it's somehow due to the combination of xonsh, git, and zed.

I don't think I have any special xonsh or git configuration that should affect any of this, but if others can't repro I can try harder to share config details.

I'm using:

• macOS 15.3.1
• Xonsh 0.19.2
• zed 0.176.2

Steps to trigger the problem:

1. Run git log in a terminal pane, in a project with enough git commits to need a pager
2. try doing anything else in that terminal window

Actual Behavior:

Nothing happens except that the keystrokes are printed at the bottom of the screen

Expected Behavior:

keystrokes are passed to the pager
