Subject: *shell* fast and loose with what it sends to the shell
Date: Fri, 04 Jun 2004 08:24:04 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fz9cf9wb.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)
Often in the *shell* buffer, the first letter or so of a command gets
stripped when sent to the shell:
08:04 fm$ dlocate -L gdal
08:10 1 fm$ locate: invalid option -- L
Usage: locate [-d path | --database=path] [-e | --existing]
Here I typed "dlocate" but it only sent "locate" to the shell.
This may be because I had been moving the cursor around lots, and have
a fancy shell prompt.
Sure, today was no big deal, but one day it will remove somebody's
almost completed masterpiece, etc.
