What Terminal should you use?

There are a couple of terminals gord 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.

Linux based systems

We recommend kitty for the best experience.

Mac OS

When using Terminal.app on a Mac, in Preferences -> Keyboard check the "Use Option as Meta key" to make the alt- keybindings work successfully.

Windows

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.
