Some remaps are broken after selecting contact

[bg16-2009]

Description:
After selecting a contact using ctrl+n, some custom remaps don't work until I restart the app

How to reproduce it:

• Install nchat from the AUR
• Run the setup (using whatsapp)
• Set the following keys in key.conf (alt + h j k l instead of arrows):

up=\33\153
down=\33\152
left=\33\150
right=\33\154

• Run nchat
• Select a contact
• After selecting a contact, try to use alt + h j k l to navigate between messages
• You get a rectangle in the message box
• NOTE: When selecting contacts, the keymaps work as expected

Environment:

• Version: v4.41
• OS / distro: Arch linux
• Terminal: kitty

Hi @bg16-2009 - thanks for reporting an issue. There was a fix for this type of issue in v4.44, see #193 for details.

Please try v4.44 or a newer version. In AUR there's an nchat-git package providing latest version from git: yay -S nchat-git

If you're sticking to the nchat stable package, the next release will be end June.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply! I installed nchat-git and everything works as expected.
