I switched from WSL (reconn'd to WSL1) to WSL2 because I thought that WSL1 would be abandoned.

However, the shell for WSL2 runs in a window that grabs things, such as ^V.

So, ssh from WSL2 (to AWS for example) is awkward. For exampl, Emacs on the AWS box is almost unusable.



Are you using the Windows Terminal app? CMD or Powershell are yanky but Windows Terminal solved a few icks for me.

    winget install --id Microsoft.WindowsTerminal -e


I'll try it.

And if it works, I'll wonder why microsoft doesn't make the ubuntu button use terminal.
