The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated; therefore, simplicity should be a key goal in design, and unnecessary complexity should be avoided. -* **POSIX** is an acronym for [Portable Operating System Interface](https://opensource.com/article/19/7/what-posix-richard-stallman-explains), which is a family of standards specified by the IEEE Computer Society for maintaining compatibility between operating systems. The *C99* Standard is preferred (as opposed to *C89* or *C11*) since this currently the only one specified by [POSIX](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/c99.html). +* **POSIX** is an acronym for [Portable Operating System Interface](https://opensource.com/article/19/7/what-posix-richard-stallman-explains), which is a family of standards specified by the IEEE Computer Society for maintaining compatibility between operating systems.

For example, when inputting text that exceeds the width of the terminal window and wraps to a new line, the user is unable to return to editing the previous line of text. This has been confirmed to be an [upstream issue](https://github.com/mcpcpc/kirc/issues/39) and has been reported accordingly. While we wait for the upstream fixes, I would recommend using [urxvt](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rxvt-unicode) or a terminal multiplexer (such as [screen](https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/) or [tmux](https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki)), which seemed to have resolved these issues. +Some users may experience abnormal *BACKSPACE* key press behavior, particularly when trying to return to a previous line being editted. This has been confirmed to be an [upstream issue](https://github.com/mcpcpc/kirc/issues/39) and has been reported accordingly to the known impacted terminal emulators. While we wait for the upstream fixes, I would recommend using [urxvt](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rxvt-unicode) or a terminal multiplexer (such as [screen](https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/) or [tmux](https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki)), which seemed to have resolved this by setting the [terminfo](https://osr507doc.sco.com/en/man/html.M/terminfo.M.html) `<bw>` flag as default. Alternatively, you can try to set terminfo `<bw>` flag manually by passing the command escape sequence `echo -e "\x1b[?45h"` or using the *tputs* function before starting *kirc*. ## Contact |
