Compatibility with CTHELPER

[lars18th]

Hi,

Using wslbridge.exe with the good known cthelper.exe tool I see some errors. For example:

• When calling to tmux or screen inside the WSL shell, then if I resize the terminal window some errors appears.

I feel some incompatibility exists at time.
Please, can you provide better compatibilty with cthelper?

Thank you!

Where is cthelper.exe?

Hi @Biswa96 ,

You can found the source it in some repositories. For example:

• iPuTTY: https://github.com/iPuTTY/cthelper
• KiTTY: https://github.com/svn2github/kitty/tree/master/trunk/cthelper

And you can download the binary from several locations. For example:

• http://www.9bis.net/kitty/?page=PuTTYCyg&zone=en

I hope you can improve the compatibility.
Regards.

And how did you use it with wslbridge?

Hi @Biswa96 ,

And how did you use it with wslbridge?

With KiTTY and other PuTTY mods with the CygTerm patch, to run the WSL SHELL.

The current issues are with the WSL Shell, as the Cygwin Shell works perfect. So if the tandem cthelper-wslbridge is improved then we should use both implementations with the same TERM tools.

I hope you can do something.
Regards.
