Hello, for whatever reason I happen to have a Windows 7 workstation but parts of my development work rely on a linux toolchain. Therefore I have a Linux VM running an XServer in which I start an terminal with tmux and hack away.
So far so good, however this VM is managed by hand and I don't need any graphical user interfaces but a terminal. So it looks like a premium use case for vagrant. With a Vagrant file and a provisioning script I could even share my dev setup with colleges. However so far I haven't found at setup which works on windows with tmux in the VM. Problems seem to escape sequences (which I could fix with tmux configs) and character encoding. On Windows I tried different Console applications cmd.exe -> bad because no fullscreen possible powershell -> same Console2, ConEmu, Putty All terminals beside Putty cannot display UTF8 character sets, this is at least on of the reasons why tmux renders quit funny but unusable results. Putty can be configured for UTF8 but other escape sequence, for example for resizing panes are not going through. And there are other usability problems with the putty terminal. I really cannot say that I understand the whole problem space. Does anyone have found a setup which works for this kind of use case? thanks, flo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Vagrant" group.
