skate link freezes

[174n]

After I type skate link on one device and the code on another device I get "Link request from:" dialog with yes and no buttons. I can switch between them by using arrow keys. Enter to select didn't work, but after I pressed Y the bash got frozen, arrow keys no longer work and even Ctrl+C doesn't have any effect.

On one device I have raspbian and on another arch.

What version of skate are you using? Are you still encountering this issue?

[bashbunni]

Hey @174n is this still a problem for you?

Hey @bashbunni, it is for me. I am using skate version v0.2.1, fresh installed on both machines (1 macOS and 1 Arch Linux).

We had another user in our Discord mentioning some issues with Arch and Skate. I believe there might be more to troubleshoot here with Arch and Skate... I wasn't able to reproduce this issue linking between Pop_OS! and macOS. I'll see about getting an Arch VM going to try and reproduce.

I'm experiencing this and I think the issue is iTerm2 or tmux.

	computer 1	computer 2
Mac OS	14.1.1	13.2.1
iTerm2	3.4.23	3.4.23
Skate	v0.2.1 (ef9b184)	v0.2.1 (ef9b184)

I experienced this and believe I isolated it to iterm2. I experienced the hanging behavior in every situation except:

comp 1 used terminal (not iterm2) as the initiation.
comp 2 used iterm2 to link.

When I select and enter on Yes the prompt clears and messages me that I have been linked.

So I would experience the stuck prompt on any laptop using iTerm2 as the initiation.

@TravisSpangle are you linking a macOS machine to an arch machine?

[TravisSpangle]

both are macOS machines. Have I stumbled into the wrong tooling?

[bashbunni]

@TravisSpangle No, I just thought the issue was possibly arch-related since I wasn't able to reproduce. Thanks! I can try this on my end as well and see if I can reproduce. Thank you so much for the additional info
