Clients Supported
ssh-chat has a few features, one of them being coloring usernames according to the selected theme. ssh is a protocol that transports data, and any client can use it, but not every client supports the coloring codes that ssh-chat uses. To have users appear colored in your chat, you must use a client that supports ANSI escape sequences.
List of clients that work:
- Bash for Windows / WSL terminal
cmd.exe on Windows with ssh- MinGW TTY terminal
- PuTTY, KiTTY and similar related programs
- Any
xterm-like terminal emulator (st, rxvt-unicode, terminator, Gnome/xfce/KDE terminals, etc)
- Emacs
ansi-term
- NeoVim embedded terminal (

List of clients that don't work:
- Emacs
eshell (just use ansi-term for ANSI support)
- Web terminals that don't support ANSI escape sequences
