TERM setting #32

Closed ericc-dream closed 4 years ago

Hi A simple question : What is the purpose of the field "TERM" in the setting ?

kuthulux commented 4 years ago

that setting allows to override the env variable TERM which affects the terminal emulation. For some servers you have to use a different emulation for the console to work properly, although is not very common.

If not set, then xterm-256color will be used by default.

you can check the current value using: echo $TERM
