Directional Keys Not Working in Gate Software

Open woolaman opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Description: I encountered an issue while using Gate software where the directional keys (such as arrow key) are not functioning as expected. Instead of navigating through the command history, the keys display characters like "^[[A" and "^[[B" on the terminal. This makes it challenging to review and reuse previous commands efficiently. The error only occurs in Gate. The directional key's function is totally normal in ROOT and other software. image

Expected Behavior: The directional keys should allow seamless navigation through command history, enabling users to efficiently recall and reuse previous commands.

Environment:

  • OS: [WSL: AlmaLinux-9.3 on windows 11]
  • Gate version [compiled Gate v9.2, 9.3, 9.4]
  • Geant4 version: [11.2.1]
  • Root version: [v6.30.06]
  • Terminal: windows terminal, xshell, etc.

Note: I believe addressing this issue will significantly improve the usability of Gate software, especially for users who rely on navigating through command history frequently. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
