That's the reason. And when you change        VA>> terminal 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~               WvV> That was the one that was different for me.               WvV> I also had to Disable remote-controled terminal resizing, otherwise my        WvV> terminal would resize to 80 chars wide after closing golded.              Good.               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        VA>> keypad mode"               VA>> Try my settings. It could work.               WvV> It fixed the keyboard problems. But not how golded looks. The line        WvV> drawing characters are still the 'qqqqqq' kind. It doesn't matter if I        WvV> use luit or not.               WvV> What did help, was enabling in Window/Tranlation: Enable VT100 line        WvV> drawing even in UTF-8 mode So now I can use the 'putty-256color'        WvV> terminal type. :-)              The only difference that I don't run golded in UTF, that's why you had to       change this parameter. Glad it works for you!              Vitaliy              ... 640K ought to be enough for anybody       --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20240305-beta        * Origin: Aurora, Colorado (1:104/117)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 18/200 50/109 90/1 104/117 105/81 106/201 128/260 129/305       SEEN-BY: 135/225 153/7715 218/700 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 206       SEEN-BY: 229/307 317 400 426 428 470 664 700 266/512 280/464 5555       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 291/111 292/854 301/1 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 460/16 58 256 1124 5858 463/68 467/888 633/280 712/848 3634/12       SEEN-BY: 5000/111 5001/100 5005/49 5015/46 5020/828 846 1042 4441       SEEN-BY: 5030/49 5054/8 30 5061/133 5075/128 5083/444 5090/958       PATH: 104/117 5020/1042 460/58 229/426           |
