Since a horizontal tab is a cursor movement and not an actual glyph, this can sometimes be visually annoying as the cursor on a tab character is displayed as a wide cursor; resource pastableTabs. If you start urxvt with the +ptab option the double sized cursor goes away; at least testing it with emacs -Q -nw leo___ Eric Hanchrow-2 wrote: > > I'm using "urxvt", if it matters. > I started emacs like this: > $ cd /usr/local/src/emacs/src > $ ./emacs -Q -nw > > That put me in the *scratch* buffer, naturally.
