   Hi Vitaliy,   
      
   On 2024-03-14 07:19:32, you wrote to me:

    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.

   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.
