- vbezhenar 6y agoWhy is it not great? I just opened session from cmd.exe to a Linux host and checked few things. Colors work, vim works, tmux works, arrow keys work, delete and backspace works. From a quick test the only issue I've found is input with cyrillic layout, but that's definitely not something to be concerned about.
- Macha 6y agoHow about clipboard integration?
- vbezhenar 6y agoTo copy text, selecting and pressing <Enter> or <Ctrl>+C works. To paste, one should right-click window title and select Edit -> Paste (Ctrl+V and Shift+Insert are sent as a hotkeys to the Linux). Or just right-click terminal window. Another approach is to enable "Use Ctrl+Shift+C/V as Copy/Paste" in terminal properties and just use those shortcuts, they seem to work fine in ssh.
- sigzero 6y agoNot everyone has the luxury of running Linux host.
- lmm 6y agoIt's slow, the clipboard integration is flaky, the resize behaviour is weird. And difficulties with non-ascii input are a serious problem for some of us.
- vbezhenar 6y agoNot sure about speed, but clipboard integration works for me from the first glance (see my neighbor answer) and resize works, at least for vim and tmux. Non-ascii input requires more research, I think that with some additional configuration it should work.
- bbatha 6y agoPutty doesn’t implement 256 colors properly which is why there is so much eye bleating blue.

- btschaegg 6y agoI agree about the default terminal emulation, although Microsoft's new Terminal application has improved much of it. But I find PuTTY's terminals to be almost worse. The visuals are seriously eye cancer inducing, and PuTTY's tools don't seem to be built with a terminal-based workflow in mind. So, I much rather use either MS' OpenSSH port (on Win10) or MSYS 2's (which is included in the Git Bash for Windows, too).
- DarthGhandi 6y agoPutty's absurdly small gui that isn't resizable was one of those minor things that always made my eye twitch. UX from a different age.
