Emacs Doom Compared with Vimwiki and Broken Putty / Tmux

After spending some time learning Emacs Doom org-mode, I have come to the conclusion that org-mode does not have anything more that I need that Vimwiki can't do.

I finally found out why some Vimwiki keybingings don't work - C-up, C-down, Alt left and Alt right. It turns out Putty does not pass on Control modifiers to tmux in some circumstances. It needs a bit of mucking around to fix. I tried a few such as running tmux -2 or changing TERM variable but nothing seems to work. All other terminals seem to work fine.

I found that on Windows, the ssh command in Powershell or Command work fine, and with some configuration, copy and paste work well too.

It seems Putty is broken.
