export TERM=putty-256color works for me in the following scenario:

1. Start PowerShell Core 6 on Windows client
2. SSH into Ubuntu (bash opens)
3. Start PowerShell Core 6 on Ubuntu …meaning no actual Putty involved. Other TERM options seem to fail.

Bash uses GNU Readline, which is far more mature than .NET Core’s Console.ReadKey().

For PuTTY, I recommend https://sanctum.geek.nz/arabesque/putty-configuration/
