If it works on the X terminals as well (the "readline" stuff, for example urxvt-readline(1) for urxvt) that'd be something. But I don't feel like testing it because aptitude tells me it will break xpdf (of all programs - on Debian Lenny), and I spent some time configuring that. But like I said, if they pulled that off, that'd be impressive to say the least. > This doesn't track down the cause, nor does it fix > it, but it makes cut and paste work. Which is what matters. But, I think one should avoid copy/paste (and even kill/yank) apart from the quick fix, or the exception to the rule - when sending messages and quoting code, man page paragraphs, and so on. It doesn't make sense to have the same information in multiple spots unless that is part of some automatized scheme (backup, RAID, redundant DB/server/distributed systems, caches and memory hierarchies, etc.). When it is the result of one person killing and yanking when-/wherever [s]he sees fit, that will just lead to errors and "consistency stress". -- underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
