- thristian 8y agoThe `putty-256color` terminal description (like most terminal descriptions) is hand-made by the ncurses maintainer, for maximum compatibility with ncurses. What problems have you encountered?
- xurukefi 8y agoWhen i use the `ncdu` utility for example it does not highlight selected entries when using `putty-256color`. Example: https://i.imgur.com/ZibnkOm.png https://i.imgur.com/ZibnkOm.png (left `putty-256color`, right `xterm`). Maybe this is a shortcoming of the `ncdu` utility or an issue with some of my other putty settings. I never tried to pinpoint it as it doesn't really affect most of the terminal work I do.
