   Hello Wilfred.   
      
   14 Mar 24 15:25, you wrote to me:   
      
    WvV>>> I suspect it might have to do with different escape sequences,   
    WvV>>> or handling of, for the function keys in the 'linux' and   
    WvV>>> 'putty' settings.   
      
    VA>> You're completely right. 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!
