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))
@phl Huh. I’m not sure I’ve seen a non-exotic (e.g, not for a Corne) layout which entirely lacks tilde as a discrete character. On my German keyboards, it’s on the AltGr layer of the +/* key. Same on Spanish QWERTY keyboards I’ve seen.
Not doubting that such a keyboard exists, I just thought I had seen most of the mass-produced layouts.
@bob_zim Hmm, tbf I'm not entirely sure if there's one with it missing (incidentally Spanish was the other layout I was suspicious of)... the deadkey aspect and it being hidden under layer 3 (and who knows if it's printed on the keyboard) definitely makes it more awkward and harder to type though than a Ctrl combination for example.
