Windows terminal: arrow keys are not sent.
This is not specifically a problem of Coder but probably best to ask and document it here.
On windows terminal, I can ssh into my Coder instance and all keys except arrow keys are correctly sent into Coder. Arrow keys do work in the regular windows terminal on powershell. I do not see a keybinding that intercepts the arrow keys. Any suggestions?

please update, your version is old (March 23, 2023).
this behavior was fixed in April of this year...

are you connecting via
coder ssh or another way?
also, what OS is the Coder workspace running?coder ssh and ubi9
could you send the output of
coder version on the client machine? and what is the version of Coder on the server?
(@राहुल)coder version is v0.20.1+ed9a3b9Solution
My colleagues have the same version on client and server. Arrow keys work for them
Or do you mean I should upgrade my client?
iirc the latest version of client was incompatible with server version
you usually want to upgrade both of these at the same time, but since it's a big version jump I would recommend that you take backups before updating the server
the product is designed to be able to do big version jumps but you never know :-)
That is why we haven't upgrades yet. We tried and reverted because we were not ready for it.
only the client should need to be updated but given the 1 year difference between the version you're running on the server and the version in which it was fixed it will most likely not work without updating the server
Ok thank you for the help!
let us know if you need any help updating!
@राहुल have updating Coder fixed the issue?
Haven't gotten around to upgrading yet. However, I did find a strange workaround.
C-p works as up arrow, C-b and C-f as left and right arrow.i think this makes sense since when the arrow keys are not handled correctly they show C-<something> in the terminal
