Zsh and interactive commands.

Arachnid92 · 2014-04-20 17:30:27

I'm having a strange issue with zsh. I run it as my login shell, but when I run interactive commands within it in Terminator (like pacman, or yaourt), special keys and keycombos like Enter and Ctrl-C stop working, and just output text (^M for Enter, ^C for Ctrl-C). I read about this being a problem with certain programs changing the state of the shell and not changing it back, and in fact I can fix this temporarily by running

reset && ttyctl -f

but the problem returns with every new instance of Terminator I launch.

How can I make this fix persistent? Thanks in advance.

You should start by reporting a bug with Terminator: https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator

I've actually narrowed it down to being a problem with Zsh, and not terminator, since the problem persists even when running on a TTY without a graphical environment.

Post your zshrc, zprofile, etc.
