Initial menu does not recognize the 'x' key
Closed this issue · 3 comments
It looks like when starting pilomar the very first menu does not recognize the 'x' key and says 'try again'. Here is the terminal dump

Python3 is UTF-8 compliant, make sure that the terminal is in UTF-8 mode too.

Well spotted, I'll check that out.
As a workaround you can just select '1 Resume last observation' to get out of the menu and keep the current selection.
When the program first starts up you have to select a target in order to proceed, but after that it should allow you to back out of target selection and keep the current choice.
Testing solution which reloads the 'last target' automatically if you 'x' out of the target selection menu.
Will be part of the 2024-01-issues branch when ready.
Done.
