One of the more annoying things with terminal applications (xterm has the same issue) is that by default dark-blue is too dark to be visible on a black background.
Your console output will look much the same as it does on your screen!Ĭhange dark colours on a black background. When you are there, also enable the option Paste to clipboard in RTF as well as plain text, which is nice when you are copy-and-pasting to emails or text documents that allow fonts and colours. So I go to Category: Window > Selection and set the Action of mouse buttons to xterm (Right extends, Middle pastes) I prefer to do an implicit copy when selecting and using the middle mouse button for pasting. Nowadays all Linux systems are able to use Unicode (UTF-8) so to make sure that the output in Putty (especially everything non-ascii) looks fine, go to Category: Window > Translation and change the character set to UTF-8, make sure that also the line drawing characters use Unicode as well. When you are there, you might want to change the Gap between text and window edge to 3 pixels. Go to Category: Window > Appearance, choose ClearType and a nice font. The newer Putty binaries are able to make use of ClearType which drastically improves the font quality compared to Antialiased. What I do is go to Category: Window and increase Lines of scrollback to 20000.
And the moment you actually need this number increased, chances are you already lost some information you wanted. For this go to Category: Session and select SSH.īy default Putty buffers 200 lines of output, which is too little in lots of circumstances. Changing it to SSH will probably save you some time when you start Putty out-of-the-blue. If you have an older version of Putty, chances are that you have Telnet as the default protocol. So before you make any changes, open the default template in Category: Session by selecting Default Settings and pressing the Load button. It will save you a lot of time afterwards to get things straight. This is especially true for Putty, since you always start of from the default, it is important to configure the default entry before you create entries from these defaults. First configure your environment before you start using it. Here are some of tips you can use to customize to have cool look, more efficient to workĬonfigure your Putty first, then make entries. If you are using windows machine to connect to Linux machine, putty is inevitable.
