WSLtty is just Mintty, which is just PuTTY. PuTTY et al have had a very long time to mature, and I still find them to be quite problematic. They don't perfectly match any terminfo/termcap entries (they're far from matching xterm--Windows Terminal is actually closer in that regard), and even if they did, some key combinations that should send unique codes don't--for example, Shift + arrow keys, which I use with tmux.
- JdeBP 7y agoPuTTY has its own terminfo entry. * https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/terminfo.ti.html#tic-putty https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/terminfo.ti.html#tic-pu...
- zenexer 7y agoIt does, but I've found it to be inaccurate at times, or at least have some oddities with the programs I tend to frequent (tmux with byobu configuration in particular). That's not to say it's not an improvement, but it doesn't fix everything.
- JdeBP 7y agoThen you should report the mismatch to get it fixed. * https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/419092/5132 https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/419092/5132 * https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/446912/5132 https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/446912/5132 * https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/560992/5132 https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/560992/5132
- zenexer 7y agoIt's not just a mismatch issue. For example, I expect Shift + arrow keys to send unique sequences so they'll be differentiated from just plain arrow keys. PuTTY doesn't do that, nor does it provide an option to do so.
