PuTTY wish mud-client

This is a mirror. The primary PuTTY web site can be found here.

summary: MUD-client-like features (separate input window, etc)
class: wish: This is a request for an enhancement.
difficulty: tricky: Needs many tuits.
priority: never: We don't ever intend to fix this.

We occasionally get asked for features useful for accessing MUDs - most frequently, a separate text box for input below the main output window, but also things like command history, triggers and so on.

We already provide some local editing features. Beyond that, we've no plans to turn PuTTY into a fully-fledged MUD client. You'd be better off with specialist MUD client software (perhaps something like TinyFugue on a server which you then use PuTTY to access).

That doesn't stop other people from turning PuTTY into a MUD client, of course. Some third-party modifications are listed on our Links page.

Audit trail for this wish.
