It doesn't propagate special keystrokes

[padilo]

When you send a Ctrl+D, it doesn't logout correctly on a ssh session, It justs hangs. It seems to be waiting for something

Same seems to be true for arrow keys, so I assume that control codes are not being sent correctly. (MacOS Sierra 10.12.3).

When you press Ctrl+C it just kills awless rather than passing the control code to the remote server.

awless is currently running its own pure-go ssh client, which presumably doesn't handle terminal emulation very well. Perhaps if an ssh or equivalent command is available on the system awless could invoke it using syscall.Exec on POSIX (This is an error on Windows by the look of it):

Same problem here (OS Debian Testing)

This is "normal". For now, we do not propagate special keystrokes such as Ctrl+D or Ctrl+C, etc. But this is something that we want to add in the future.

Fixed by f00c43e: If a ssh client is present on the machine, awless uses this client to connect to the instance (which will support special keystroke).
This is available in 0.0.17.
