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 (: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
