Hi Vitaliy,

I changed to using luit, for both the putty and konsole terminals for golded.

I do now have the problem that sometimes (not most of the time), the terminal is in strange state after closing golded. I've fixed that by adding the 'reset' command as the last command in the script that starts golded.

I had already checked this:

# ls -l /etc/termcap
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2015-10-29 21:23:18 termcap -> /usr/share/misc/termcap

# grep putty /etc/termcap
putty|PuTTY terminal emulator:\
vt100-putty|Reset PuTTY to pure vt100:\
putty-256color|PuTTY 0.58 with xterm 256-colors:\
putty-vt100|VT100+ keyboard layout:\
putty-sco|putty with SCO function keys:\


infocmp shows more or less the same:

# infocmp -D
/usr/share/terminfo

# find /usr/share/terminfo -iname 'putty*'
/usr/share/terminfo/p/putty
/usr/share/terminfo/p/putty-256color
/usr/share/terminfo/p/putty-sco
/usr/share/terminfo/p/putty-vt100

 VA> Let me know it that helped please.

So terminfo for putty already exists on my system...

 WvV>> Also some keys, like the F3 key stopped working. So I keep my

 VA>>>> to putty or putty-256color. It's in Connection->Data section.

 WvV>> 'putty-256color' makes no difference.

 VA> putty-256color just add more colors support. F keys are broken most

That is not the case...


Bye, Wilfred.
