    It's not only running on Linux it's developed there :). I even recommend using linux for that.

    Windows users have all kinds of problems. It requires opengl32.dll and VCRUNTIME140.dll there and not all systems have that. And on some systems it crashes. However I need to rework the graphics backend a bit to fix that.

    Use Linux - it's the better os :)

    Something I'd live in icy_term is in issue #69: support
    for some sort of proxy or SSH jump host. That'd be
    wonderful!

    I'm willing to help test on any platform.

    Heres my newest 'issue' list, but I'm gonna widdle it down before I post to github. :P

    Ready????

    ** - denotes already reported to icy_term github

    **Some TOPAZ characters aren't displaying... [take a screenshot WITH the chars,

    too.]
    icy_term\ doesnt\ show\ some\ AMIGA\ chars\ \(should\ be\ bargraph\ there\).png icy_term\ AMIGA\ TOPAZ\ chars\ in\ syncterm.png

    **When shift is held, backspace doesn't work - or, can't get input from two buttons at once.

    **Import syncterm.lst or netrunner.phn? [MagiTerm, Muffinterm... supply example phonebook files.]

    **Downloads don't start automagically; have to click the icon.
    ** - Just downloaded pico-8 and it acted perfectly...

    **Uploads/Downloads don't end correctly for me; connection hangs and keyboard presses display weird ANSi like characters... both on SSH & TELNET. Have to disconnect to 'fix' - transfers are br0ken.
    icy_term\ after\ UL⁄DL\ dont\ get\ back\ to\ bbs...\ bad\ chars\ on\ screen.pn

    **After the above 'issue', reconnects dont work either - still in that 'mode' or
    - characters dont display/type correctly... still connected in the BG??? or...

    **No scrollback buffer???

    **4:3 mode? The aspect ratio seems stuck to 16:9 or similar - I'd prefer true CRT/4:3 screen size. [Can't change by dragging; but I'd PREFER a menu options - 16:9 (or whatever it currently is) or 4:3...]

    SSH intermittent connect UPDATE; SSH is connecting, but not auto-detecting ANSI so it just sits there. [Video provided]
    icy_term\ SSH\ connect\ issue.webm

    Hangs intermittently; this is what I thought was happening after downloads -
    or on SSH connect, but this just happened at a random spot; keyboard input shows weird ANSi characters.
    icy_term when it hangs - all the time not just downloads or... happens intermitt
    ently.png
    - I think I see whats going on - or, testing anyway. If I go to other
    workspaces and come back to icy_term I can't always just click in its window
    and go. Right now its 'hung' - but not locked up... the bbs screen saver
    (cmatrix) is displaying, but icy_term isn't catching my mouse click or
    key presses.... i cant get back into the window! more; even if i click on
    hangup, or try to reconnect/dial - it wont let me in! [More testing]
    This doesn't happen often - but it did, twice. Most of the time I'm NOT seeing this issue... [Continue to record IF you see it, tho - document m0re of the WHY/

    WHEN/HOW....]
    - when in this 'mode', even HANGUP doesnt work - its like i'm 'locked' out of i
    cy_term
    nothing gets me back in - have to kill the application.
    icy_term\ locked\ after\ visiting\ other\ workspaces.webm

    No icon is shown in the panel/menu bar - shows a generic > prompt icon...

    Last few downloads worked perfect, w/o any issues... [More testing]
    - also, after download theres that HANG intermitently like described above! Grr
    rrr.

    d an own BBS back in the 90'. When I started rust I searched a project and some
    days earlier I spoke with my wife about the good old days, PCBoard and then I go
    t the idea to improve the PPL decompiler we used these days. That was my first p
    roject and it was successful Around that time I learned that there are still BBS
    es in the internet and I started to update my old ansi drawing tool (MysticDraw)
    however I lost a bit track because of the gtk4 bindings. It's very difficult to
    write even a mid sized UI application with these. First I tried to ressurect my
    old ansi drawi' in local database

    icy_term TELNET connections lose carrier if left for hours

    No mouse support? Some users like to use scroll wheel to advance messages their reading down/up lines. SyncTERM also has click support - character you click on is fed to the terminal... maybe just scrollwheel support for messages?

    W0W; but at least I'm using icy_term, amiright?

    I've noticed this as well when connecting with Icy Term to Mystic via SSH. It will connect to my board (non-standard port 2222) but I get a black screen until I press enter. Most of the time I get an ANSI experience, but every now & then it'll be ASCII only.

    This happens on both Windows 10 & MacOS.

    I've basically not much clue about that request :/. However I can add an option for it after all I just call a library and there is an option for the ssh proxy command.
