Cursor Up (CUU) - Ghostty Org

The parameter n must be an integer greater than or equal to 1. If n is less than or equal to 0, adjust n to be 1. If n is omitted, n defaults to 1.

This sequence always unsets the pending wrap state.

If the current cursor position is at or below the top margin, the highest point the cursor can move is the top margin. If the current cursor position is above the top margin, the highest point the cursor can move is the first row.
