Change TERM or add contour terminfo on target remote
Change TERM or add contour terminfo on target remote
I just figured that out! I solved it with adding TERM=xterm-256color
to ~/.zshrc
on the client. (If you use bash you have to put it in ~/.bashrc
)
Hey @peterwilli I generally highly recommend installing the contour
terminfo to remote hosts. Maybe we should provide that as single downloadable file on the release page for such cases. At least if you're using one of the more advanced functionalities. :)

First of all, thanks for making such an awesome terminal! I love it so much, best of alacritty and usual desktop terminal emulators!
And yeah, perhaps that is better, but this is not always an option for those that SSH into servers that they don't have admin access to (assuming that one needs that for adjusting terminfo) or are otherwise read-only

Here is a list of places that you can place your terminfo file
Libraries that read terminfo entries are expected to check in succession
• a location specified with the TERMINFO environment variable,
• $HOME/.terminfo,
• directories listed in the TERMINFO_DIRS environment variable,
for contour you can place it in $HOME/.terminfo/c/contour
.
