Hi,
So, there's a puzzle of minor issues and I wanted to ask how you guys
deal with it.
- with standard ncurses misc/mc there's no borders in mc in putty, and
Ctrl-O flushes the output beneath panels.
-with slang misc/mc Ctrl-O flushes the output beneath panels (and I
lived with this through years, but then discovered xterm-clear).
- with slang and xterm-clear Home/End doesn't work in putty.
everything else is fine, but this hurts.
I use my FreeBSD desktop at work and from home wvia putty, so I really
want to solve this without learning keays each time (and it seems like
they aren't save on "Save setup".
Ideas ?
So, I figured it out, thanks to https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/2633
two things should be done on each FreeBSD mc is ran on to not ruin other
ssh sessions:
- a wrapper that will reside in PATH earlier than mc binary:
#!/bin/sh
#
# simple knob to fix mc Ctrl-O without ruining remote Linux sshs
#
if [ $TERM = "xterm" ]; then {
TERM=xterm-clear
} fi
/usr/local/bin/mc $*
- a fix to /usr/local/share/mc/mc.lib:
[terminal:xterm-clear]
copy=xterm
Then everything works, remote ssh sessions are not affected (like
Linuxes/other OSes that don't have xterm-clear), putty works fine,
Home/End working fine.
Eugene.

Putty has quite a bunch of options to configure terminal behaviour, and you can make it send different terminal identifiers (from your description, I'm not sure where you switched terminal modes). Maybe fiddling with putty or the terminal identifier will help? Termcap even has a putty entry... I'm not a putty user myself (I prefer xterm and openssh), so I can only guess.
