What Terminal should you use?
There are a couple of terminals cordless doesn't play well with. One of the reasons is usually bad UTF-8 support or overriding a lot of the default shortcuts in cordless.
Some terminals that are horrible in their default configuration might still work fine if reconfigured.
I personally use https://github.com/thestinger/termite/ , which is a simple VTE-based terminal.
When using Terminal.app on a Mac, in Preferences -> Keyboard check the "Use Option as Meta key" to make the alt- keybindings work successfully.
Since the Windows terminal doesn't support UTF-8, not all characters can be rendered correctly. By default cordless will replace all characters above unicode codepoint 65536 with a ? and do the same with all characters that have a width bigger than 1.
If you are using the new Windows Terminal, set the commandline parameter --disable-UTF8 to false in order to see emojis and the likes. However, since the terminal is still not feature complete, there is no mouse-support at all and sometimes you'll encounter bugs.
