                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'signal' has no attribute 'SIGWINCH'

I'm running this program on Windows 11 and encountered the error above.

I'm not sure this program is maintained (8 years since last commit!) but you can simply comment out line 93 in main.py and it should work fine

macht/macht/term/main.py

Line 93 in aac049d

signal.signal(signal.SIGWINCH, on_resize)

I read the documentation of the blessed library and found out why this didn't work. This line is intended for detecting the resizing behavior of the Command Line Interface, but this detection command doesn't work on Windows, which is a compatibility issue that the blessed library admits. After all, thanks for your prompt response.
