Arrow keys and ESC don't work after invoking sjasmplus about sjasmplus HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi again :-) Setting the environemnt variable set NO_COLOR=1 solved the problem while the switch --color=off, as you suspected, didn't.

from sjasmplus.

can you try sjasmplus --color=off to get DISPLAY without color codes, if that helps with arrows, but I don't expect the main issue to be related to ANSI color codes, so I expect the color off to not help. Would be nice if you can confirm it, as I don't have any windows machine to try myself.

oh, looking into the code, that will turn colors off, but still tamper with console settings, so if you can try also other experiment with setting environment NO_COLOR (to any value, just have to exist) before running sjasmplus, and then see if that does affect behaviour. Thank you.

so the issue is this code (which is used to enable ANSI color codes in windows cmd.exe):
https://github.com/z00m128/sjasmplus/blob/master/sjasm/support.cpp#L147-L149

issue is known and "by design":
microsoft/terminal#4949

so the remaining question is whether I want to care and try to un-set the virtual input processing before exiting sjasmplus (shouldn't be too hard in case of clean exit, in case of fatal error it may require extra call in code to cleanup in such case too), or I will tag this as wont-fix and suggest to use more modern OS like some linux.

I did try to add console mode restoration in windows upon sjasmplus exit. As I have no means to test what this change does, it may fix things or it may make them worse...

If you can build the master branch yourself and verify the fix works (and the ANSI colors still work, ie. DISPLAY is teal), I will be thankful, otherwise this will go out untested with next release, which I have right now no plans to do any time soon.

With current sjasmplus release you can also use NO_COLOR environment variable, although I would once more suggest to switch OS, as MS windows will very likely become more and more tedious to support over time.
