torrenttools changing windows cmd behaviour

Open RibShark opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

After executing torrenttools, the arrow keys no longer move the cursor left and right, but produce the escape sequences ("^[[D^" and the like). Backspace is also affected, now deleting entire words rather than single characters.

This is a known issue with cmd and powershell. The problem is caused by incomplete support for ANSI escape sequences which are used for formatting and terminal cursor placement. You should use a modern terminal client like the new Windows Terminal app to avoid all these problems. I've added a note in the README to warn users that they should not use cmd and PowerShell.
