Did some investigation. This happens on Windows only, due to a feature
called "Alt keys". It cannot be turned off in any reasonable way at all,
which is unfortunate.

Mudlet will have to work around this problem, because it is interfering
with keybindings and makes the command line inoperable after using an
alt keybinding for typing - you have to clear it.

A possible pseudocode solution for this could go like this: alt on ->
start tracking -> marco matched -> record that -> alt down - macro
matched? if yes, record that, next character insert -> ignore it, wipe
flag.

Title:
  ALT + Numeric keypad shortcut keys leave command prompt noise

Status in Mudlet the MUD client:
  New

Bug description:
  When setting up short cut keys using ALT+Num7, or ALT+Num8 (where Num7
  and Num8 would be numeric keypad keys) it leaves control characters in
  the command prompt.  The desired effect is achieved, eg I use the
  keypad to slow walk Num2 = south, Num8 = north, etc and this works
  fine, but if I use ALT+Num2 to squint north it will squint north, but
  it will also leave rubbish in the command prompt.

  This is very frustrating to clear constantly, especially when your
  trying to locate an enemy in battle and need to clear your prompt
  before your next command.

  Mudlet version 2.0, Windows 7.
