Research direction
The issue describes a key repeat problem after changing the shell to zsh and back to bash on a Chromebook. Investigate terminal input handling in Termux, specifically how key events are processed and whether shell environment changes could affect key repeat behavior. Look at the TerminalView or key event listener code in the repository (e.g., `TerminalView.java`) to understand the event flow. Since there are no comments or reproduction steps, try to reproduce the issue on a Chromebook with Termux and different shell configurations.
