Re: Can you bind a function to CTRL+HOME / CTRL+END

Dear Benno

Thanks for you quick reply.
I'm using version 3.2 on Debian 10.

I just tested this in Chrome's SSH client and it sure works!
But not in puTTY (or KiTTY,  which I normally user, a fork of puTTY).

I guess I have to find a new Windows SSH client.

Sorry for the noise ;-)
