pram posted:heres something epic i learned today that i MUST share this is awesome, it's part of openssh. if anyone can't do it check that the "EscapeChar ~" variable is set somewhere. this can be done globally for the server you are connecting to in /etc/ssh/ssh_config or whatever, but I just put it in ~.ssh/config under "Host *" so that it's set for any server I connect to

Supported escape sequences: ~. - terminate connection (and any multiplexed sessions) ~B - send a BREAK to the remote system ~C - open a command line ~R - Request rekey (SSH protocol 2 only) ~^Z - suspend ssh ~# - list forwarded connections ~& - background ssh (when waiting for connections to terminate) ~? - this message ~~ - send the escape character by typing it twice

cthulhoo posted:putty just passes ~ through i also use windows on the desktop like a man but i switched from putty to using consolez to wrap the bash shell provided by git for windows and it's as good as any terminal i've used. it's also useful for running some of the more basic linux commands in windows without needing a full cygwin install, grepping logs and stuff, but i really only use it for connecting to debian. best desktop os connects to be the best server os, living the dream.

the best part of the continuous wayland fuckup is that they're reinventing the Windows misfeature where hung apps can't be moved/resized/minimized/closed/etc.

It's because a hive mind like the borg or FOSS developers have no originality. It can only create more elaborate versions of what already exists. The not for profit things the internet has provided are just better versions of things that used to exist, and people used to pay for. Everything else is still proprietary and for profit.

Window decorations being responsive isn't really that useful, as long as you have the ability to kill the app. Do you really want a maximize button that can't do anything since the window isn't responding?
