      TID: FMail-lnx64 2.2.1.1       RFC-X-No-Archive: Yes       TZUTC: 0100       CHRS: CP850 2       PID: GED+LNX 1.1.5-b20240306       MSGID: 2:280/464 65f30c26       REPLY: 1:104/117 65f2fa7b       Hi Vitaliy,              On 2024-03-14 07:19:32, you wrote to me:               WvV>> I suspect it might have to do with different escape sequences, or        WvV>> handling of, for the function keys in the 'linux' and 'putty'        WvV>> settings.               VA> You're completely right. That's the reason. And when you change terminal        VA> type, ncurses expects different escape sequences.               VA> My settings are:        VA> terminal type putty               VA> Then in Terminal->Keyboard:               VA> The Backspace key -> Control-?        VA> The Home and End keys -> Standard        VA> The Function keys and keypad -> ESC[n~              That was the one that was different for me.              I also had to Disable remote-controled terminal resizing, otherwise my       terminal would resize to 80 chars wide after closing golded.               VA> Shift/Ctrl/Alt with the arrow keys -> Ctrl toggles app mode        VA> Initial state of cursor keys -> Normal        VA> Initial state of numeric keypad -> Normal        VA> AltGf acts as Compose key -> off        VA> Control-Alt is different from AltGf -> on               VA> In Terminal->Features all is off except "Disable application keypad mode"               VA> Try my settings. It could work.              It fixed the keyboard problems. But not how golded looks. The line drawing       characters are still the 'qqqqqq' kind.       It doesn't matter if I use luit or not.              What did help, was enabling in Window/Tranlation: Enable VT100 line drawing       even in UTF-8 mode       So now I can use the 'putty-256color' terminal type. :-)                     Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.2.1.1        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 18/200 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/260       SEEN-BY: 129/305 135/225 153/757 7715 154/10 30 203/0 218/700 221/0       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 400 426 428 470       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 240/1120 5832 266/512 280/464 5003 5555 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66       SEEN-BY: 341/234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/16 58 256 1124 5858 467/888       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 5020/400 1042 5054/30       PATH: 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
