I was setting up PHP over Nginx when all of the sudden my console access stoped working. It displays what it should but cat’t type any character. Tried refresh, changed the computer but the problem persists.

DO Support team. It is 2018 and DO console is still unresponsive, buggy, and slow as molasses. Workaround of using SSH is not the answer we are looking for. There are unique circumstance where console is needed. However console experience is not good at all. Please fix this issue in the new year.
I am using console to read a file using Nano. I am able to hit Control + X to exit, however I am unable to pass keyboard press of letter “n” or “y” to the console. What is responsive is hitting control + c to cancel, however no way to exit out of Nano in the console. I a now forced to kill console session via SSH.
