What's the compatibility with DEC VT family (100, 220, 300, 400) like, id est can this program be used to ssh into a UNIX®️ host and do work as one would for example with PuTTY?

iIt would be awesome if you could ask the question on their official github issues. It would be tracked by them, hopefully. I masked similar question about ctlr + X/C command usage.. and got satisfactory response..

of course. you can use ssh in powershell already without putty

That is not what I asked. I asked how well this new terminal emulates DEC VT-family of terminals.

I'm disappointed you're getting downvoted, since proper terminal emulation is something I'd like in the Windows console as well.

It's a popular thing to downvote me, but that's the history of the entire mankind, to punish those who ask the critical questions or think differently from the mainstream. I don't really care any more: if I want to ask my question I will ask it, the way I want to.

It would be useful if the default Windows™️ terminal had proper emulation, agreed. That would bring it closer to UNIX®️ and make Windows™️ much more useful. That is logical but as you saw not obvious, especially not around here.

At the link below I believe.
