Rebanedid you know that SSH has a little-known secret menu?
i wrote a post about this on cohost a while back, but since that site shut down i'm posting it here too
Klaus FrankYes, but did you know that it is basically inaccessible on Keyboard layouts like e.g. de-DE?
Oh and if I recall correctly the keyboard combination is also different on macOS too...
Zimmie@agowa338 @rebane2001 MacOS and Windows both have plain OpenSSH, and the listed escape sequences work on both.
Henrik Pauli@bob_zim @agowa338 @rebane2001 *if* your keyboard layout has a functioning tilde key (a deadkey might output something else and it's nontrivial to make it output just the character itself (and it depends on the OS how it deals with it))
Christer B@phl @bob_zim @agowa338 @rebane2001 For me, on a mac, hitting the deadkey and then space works. So, <Enter> ~ <Space> ? gets me to that menu.
@khrister @phl @bob_zim @rebane2001
Which makes it a different key combination and - well - try googling for it. I've literally never seen this being documented (in a discoverable way) anywhere.
@agowa338 Neither have I. Well, I somehow learned <Enter> ~ ^Z, not sure how. The rest I learned from this toot.
The ~ <space> trick I found out by trial and error, I think.
