Is there any way to set MobaXterm to implicitly add Carriage Return chars ("\r") when a Newline character, "\n", is received? Like in TeraTerm you can set NewLine to CR, CR+LF, LF or auto.

No carriage return with new line

  • I'm confused by use of 'implicit' here. Do you want the cursor to move to the first column -- perform the carriage return action -- when LF is received? ... now that I ask that I have vague memories from lifetimes ago about this term being used in this context.

Right click on the terminal screen, select "Change terminal settings..." and check "Implicit CR in every LF"

    Absolutely nothing happens if I right-click on the terminal in MobaxTerm. Moreover, nowhere do I find Implicit CR in every LF in the Terminal Settings. Commented Jan 28, 2021 at 13:42
  • it works. just change terminal settings not saved when you start another session.

  • If no context menu, then either press shift while right-click or disable config setting "paste on right-click"

  • FWIW "Implicit CR in every LF" is confusing. Makes no sense to include a byte in a byte. Maybe "on every" or even better "after each" is closer to what they mean. And what does 'implicit' mean? Does that mean the display/output will act as if the input stream has a CR after LF? I guess that's implicit WRT the stream, but it's explicit WRT the display. Confusing.

  • Who knew!! Thank you - that solved my question! Commented Aug 25, 2022 at 13:06
  • FYI: if the config setting 'paste on right-click' is enabled, you have to use shift to get the context menu to open ... terrible UX IMO.
