I think that > should be a pretty un-annoying way forward. Fully agreed; it's an improvement over my proposal. This is currently handled in different ways on different platforms, so I we might want to clean that up a bit while we're at it. The main thing remaining, besides writing the actual patch, is to decide what the visual bell should look like. I am currently running with Gregory's patch for testing; it would useful if others carried out similar experiments with one or more variations mentioned in this thread and reported back.
