Fixed in git, commit c5b0e195, by not printing an error message deep inside the keyboard routines, put instead passing back a special key code to signal an unknown sequence.

I'm going to morph this bug report into one that is slightly more important, as I think very few people will be using --showcursor.

Anyway, to reproduce, run 'src/nano --ignore --raw'
Then type: ^W <Ctrl+Alt+PageUp>.
Nano is entirely silent.

Expected behavior: nano should beep, just like when not using --raw.

To reproduce, run 'src/nano --ignore --raw --show'.
Then type: ^G <Ctrl+Alt+PageUp>.  See that it says "[ Unknown sequence ]" on the status bar and that the cursor sits at the end of it.

This will be harder to fix than bug #58489, because there is no place_the_cursor() routine for the browser.  :|
