The 8008 637
On Wed, 06 Jul 2005 12:39:57 -0400, Lee Ayrton My Chryslers allowed me to tun this "feature" off. There are *may* times when I don't *want* the window cold! ...like when it is...
Aha ....
Somehow in all these years of dinking with Unix I never realized that the terminal driver supported a "werase" function -- I knew about "erase" and "kill", and about "stty", but not "werase". Thanks.
And of course (?) in doing quick-check experiments prior to posting my previous reply, it didn't occur to me to try hitting ^W in input mode.
But now, the output of "stty -a" you quote .... I also noticed for the first time that ^R might have a special meaning to the terminal driver ("redraw the current line"). It shows up in the output of "stty -a" on my system (Linux) as it does in the above output, and yet I don't get that behavior when I press ^R; instead I get the "search command history" feature of -- if I understand things right, it's readline(), invoked by bash. Hm .... Is it that bash may be bypbutting the terminal driver's editing?? I just tried "stty kill ^X", and it doesn't seem to have any effect (^U still operates as the kill character).
Think Adddams family - Morticia's skirt - I think they are called a tulip ? Super tight from waist to knees, then a tiny...
Annoying, though presumably fixable with configuration files? (And -- interesting; which UNIXes?)
