atuin receives no input in ZSH under MSYS2 and its default terminal emulator MinTTY

When using atuin in ZSH under MSYS2 and its default MinTTY terminal emulator, atuin receives no input keys and cannot be controlled.

I suspect, that this is the same bug as: https://github.com/mintty/mintty/issues/1210, which causes MinTTY to drop all input, when a pipe is used as the input to a command. Thus I suspect when using the atuin ZSH integration, that a pipe is involved somewhere. The reason is theorized by the MinTTY maintainer to stem from a bugged ConPTY in the CygWin project, which MinTTY relies on. That bug is tracked here: https://github.com/mintty/mintty/issues/1210

If this is confirmed as the reason, then I will close this issue, as it is not caused by this repo. I still want it to exist in the issue tracker as a note to other users, since MinTTY is the default terminal emulator of an important dev environment on Windows. All fine with Alacritty though.
