Meshcentral: Terminal do not show letters while typing

Like in the topic, no matter if it is windows 7 or 10, when connecting into terminal and typing, letters are not visible until Enter hit. Even when using "Paste" option, the things are not visible until Enter.

Also there is problem with listing files in folder. Dir command do not show .exe files. Like on the screenshot.

Bryan is still working on this one. It's a bit tricky because you need to capture the command prompt in a completely different way. However, Bryan has a working prototype.

Windows shell accepts line by line input, not echoing character by character. This is known limitation now. We need to look at meshcore.js to perform character echo rather than line by line echo.

It would be cool, because i never know if i did some typo.

Yes, we know about this. Bryan who is working on the MeshAgent will be looking into fixing this in the coming weeks.

Thank You :)

Just published MeshCentral v0.2.4-h with a fix for the terminal in Windows. Bryan did all the work. The terminal will now show the keys as you are typing. There are a few bugs with the new system, the first line in the terminal does not show and colors are not supported yet. Will work on these at some point.

Published MeshCentral v0.2.4-h with color support in the Terminal when used with Windows.
