  • Ctrl and keypad + key used to work in PuTTY and does not anymore

    From shaunfortune@mypls.com@21:1/5 to All on Fri Feb 7 10:41:35 2020
    Between version .70 and .71 of PuTTY, it appears that there was a change that disabled the CTRL + (keypad plus key) combination. Downgrading to .70 restored that functionality. Is there anyone who knows about this, why it was done, if that keyboard
    combination will be restored, etc.?

    There were lots of changes between 0.70 and 0.71, but I would guess it
    was this one: <https://git.tartarus.org/?p=simon/putty.git;a=commitdiff;h=41e1a586fb>

    Can you give some more detail?

    - What platform are you running PuTTY on?
    - What exactly did Ctrl-and-keypad-plus do for you before? (Did it send
    a key combination to the server?)
    - What exactly does it do now?
