Subject: ansi-term and line mode
Date: Thu, 03 Apr 2008 00:18:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fxu3y3jf.fsf@stupidchicken.com> (raw)
I noticed that ansi-term starts out in char-mode, in which keystrokes
are passed directly to the shell. That's fine, but it can be a bit
confusing to the new user, especially since commands like C-x C-c stop
working.
I recommend adding an echo area message when ansi-term starts up, saying
something like:
"Starting ansi-term in char mode. Type C-c C-j to switch to line mode."
The functions term-line-mode and term-char-mode should also issue
similar messages.
Could you implement this?
Thanks.
