Far inside a windows docker container
Posted: Wed 25 Apr, 2018 11:51
Hi,
I am new to Far, so maybe I am doing something wrong. I try to use Far inside a docker container (for those who do not know: it is a lightweight sortof virtual machine in text mode). Since I cannot use any GUI application there, Far is an obvious choice to use for browsing files and editing text. It sortof works. What does not work is:
1. I cannot type any character anywhere (editor, command line) in Far that would be nonalphanumeric. I.e. I cannot type ,./;'[] etc
2. The frame character is "?". When run with far.exe /ag, it looks ok, so no big problem.
I installed it like this: I installed it on my PC, exported the settings. Donwloaded 7z archive of Far and extracted it in the container and imported the settings from my PC.
Any ideas what I should do?
Thanks.
