When I connect to a remote macOS Sonoma from a Linux RHEL 8 with ssh -J user@portal user@mac and, once connected, I run vim somefile, I get some extraneous characters at the top-left of the "page" and also at the shell prompt after exiting Vim: ESC[>4;m **note:** Thanks to @LorinczyZsigmond tip of using script I managed to capture those bytes It's not the first time I'm experiencing this problem, with differents local/remote OS combinations (Solaris/FreeBSD/AIX/Linux/macOS), but previously I only had to install the terminfo packages on the remote NIXes to fix it. On macOS Sonoma though, the terminfo for the xterm-256color used by RHEL 8 is already in /usr/share/terminfo/78/xterm-256color, and changing TERM to xterm doesn't help. Any thoughts on what to do to fix the problem?
