Try setting export TERM=xterm-256color in your .bashrc or .zshrc.

That's an exceptionally bad idea that will likely break more than it'll fix.

Same here with the Alacritty terminal and micro version 1.4.1

This problem is fixed in micro 2.0.0. Micro will dynamically look in the system terminfo file using infocmp if your terminal is not among the list of statically known terminals.

Awesome, just need to wait a bit then. Looking forward to being able to use Micro with my (current) favorite terminal

Kitty and Alacritty both work with micro 2.0.1 so I'm guessing this can be closed now.
