Beschreibung

Hi! I installed this tool yesterday and so far I'm loving the reports :smile:, but I cannot seem to make it work in interactive mode. After I start npm-check -u I get the "Choose which packages..." screen, but I cannot select anything, pressing space has no effect, neither the cursor keys, and if I press enter I get garbled text on top of what it was already on screen.

My specs:

  • Windows 7 x64
  • npm v3.5.3
  • node v5.5.0
  • Using the Gitbash terminal that comes with Git for Windows (Mintty)

I don't have issues with other command line tools. BTW the emojis are not showing, but I think that's a Windows limitation, isn't it?

Thanks a lot.

Research-Richtung
The issue is about interactive mode not responding in `npm check u` on Windows with Mintty. The bug suggests a problem with terminal input handling, likely in the library used for interactive prompts (e.g., inquirer). To fix, investigate how the prompt library detects and interacts with the terminal. Check if there are known compatibility issues with Mintty. Look at the terminal detection code in the repository (e.g., `lib/` or `bin/` files) and consider using a different prompt library or configuration for Windows terminals.
