Hello Wilfred.

Yep. I`ve tried luit in my configuration and it works totally fine.

It`s definitely more convenient.

That may be because terminfo for putty doesn`t exist on your
system. You may need to install additional packages. I have putty-256color
and it works perfect.
How to check.
Run infocmp -D
This will show you which directories are used to find terminfo.
Then search in those directories, is putty available. If not - you
may need install package like ncurses-term. May have different name on
your system.
Let me know it that helped please.
WvV> Also some keys, like the F3 key stopped working. So I keep my

VA>>> to putty or putty-256color. It`s in Connection->Data section.
WvV> `putty-256color` makes no difference.
putty-256color just add more colors support. F keys are broken most
probably because terminfo is missing.
