brace matching broken in iTerm

[swannodette]

In iTerm, https://www.iterm2.com, I get noise characters instead of brace matching.

I'll look into it. In the meanwhile, the VT100 terminal control characters can be turned off by passing -d (or --dumb-terminal) to Planck. (This option is also useful if you'd like to use rlwrap with Planck.)

No reason to reopen the ticket, but for anyone else who has this issue and lands here, updating to the iTerm2 v3 beta also fixes it.

-d is not useful because it also disables moving around with arrows...

I'm reluctant to upgrade to iTerm 3 beta... but... is it stable? Anyone using it?

When will this be working for iTerm 2, will it?

thank you

@davidhq If you are able to build from master, then you can get this fix before it is released. To do this using brew simply entails

brew install --HEAD planck

Or you can use Planck 1.6 in iTerm with rlwrap via

rlwrap planck -d

and at least have line editing and history.

Thank you, bulding from master worked!

Quick confirmation for anyone else passing—was seeing a variant of this issue with noise characters in the repl and updating Planck to 1.9 with

brew install --HEAD planck

resolved it.

@attentive This was fixed in Planck 1.7, so there should be no need to run a custom build from HEAD. You probably just need to do a brew update.

Thanks Mike—all seems good so I'll leave it for now.
