Everything black through SSH with Putty

[marco-trovato]

Bug:
Installed successfully using pip3 (v23.0.1), but when typing ash nothing happens to the propmpt. Pressing CTRL-C gets back to bash. After uninstalling all packages and reinstalling on different machines, the program now actually runs on one of them (WHY? nothing has changed!), but everything on the screen is black (the screen size is more than the minimum required).

Steps to Reproduce

1. $ python3 -m pip install ash-editor
2. $ ash

OS:

• OS: Linux 5.10.0-18-686 / Devuan GNU/Linux 4 (chimaera)
• From Windows 10 Home x64 with Kitty SSH client (or also on the local linux machine, if using xfce-terminal, but it works on local machine with KDE Konsole)

THIS IS THE BEST TUI CUA TEXT EDITOR I HAVE EVER SEEN ON LINUX!

Sometimes ash takes some time to load. Can you try waiting for 10 secs and see if it solves the issue?

Also, themes, some older monitor types and emulators could cause this issue. E.g. the terminal emulator cool-retro-term causes ash to become extremely low-contrast

I removed all packages with pip (v23.0.1) and reinstalled.
(I also tried with python3 -m pip install, and also as root)

In all case the result now is:

link@manjaro-arm ~/.l/bin> ./ash
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/link/.local/bin/./ash", line 5, in <module>
    from ash.ash_main import run
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ash.ash_main'; 'ash' is not a package


link@manjaro-arm ~/.l/bin [1]> ./ash.py 
/bin/sh: line 1: virtualenv: command not found
You didn't specify what to do. Refer to the README file for the commands that ash supports. Exiting now.
