Ah, the classical problem in the OS which actually lies between the chair and the keyboard.

BTW, those terminal emulators, Perl and the tools allow you to easily debug your IoT device over serial.

The terminal issue it's about configuration; some of them allow mouse actions, such as XTerm.

wait, you're arguing that devices should emulate a typewriter that hasn't existed for 30 years because it somehow makes them easier to debug, while this thread is about how they cause obscure problems that require you to understand escape codes to fix for things as basic as key mapping? perl does not make anything easier to debug... everytime i read perl i have to learn the subset this particular user is using, and everything in perl is a backdoor like 10x worse than bash

If you say that you never debugged bash with bash -x or never read 'perldoc perlintro', because perl it's like an improved awk, sh and bash made into a very simplified C-like language.
