Description

Steps to reproduce:

  • start Cygwin terminal
  • start Helix (normal mode) in Cygwin terminal
  • type : to access helix commands. The editor ignores : keystroke.

However, keystroke : works in Cygwin terminal outside Helix. It also works while running Vim in Cygwin.

Environment:

  • Windows 10
  • Cygwin (mintty 3.7.6)
  • Helix 24.7 (079f544)

My Helix config:

theme = "onedark"

[editor]
# rulers = [80]
bufferline = "always"

[keys.normal]
"C-]" = ":buffer-next"
"C-[" = ":buffer-previous"

[keys.insert]
j = { k = "normal_mode" }
