I'd like Cmd-V to paste actually. Yes, I've read the FAQ so let's not comment
on that. Perhaps I should upgrade to a 3 button mouse.
If I had a three-button mouse, could I remap middle button to be paste? I
spend all my (other) time in X11, so that's what I'm used to and I like it.
The curses bug... It's inappropriate to fix it with the termcap database,
that data is correct. Why would I alter a termcap on a working system (say
Linux or Solaris)? I could see copying and modifying it to workaround a bug.
Anyway, I don't think that will fix it.
The problem is that when I'm in a ssh session, running BitchX (which is curses
intensive) and the ssh connection close unexpectedly, the xterm gets stuck
scrolling the last line only. So no scrolling occurs after that point. I can
issue commands and see results printed sequentially, but it's all done on the
last line of the terminal.
I sure wish I could just give you a URL to the ADC bug, but alas I cannot.
it's problem id 3206384. Here's the info from the bug:
1. Setup or prep work
Find a remote host (localhost would probably work too) which you can:
* ssh to (it is running sshd)
* run the BitchX IRC client (BitchX: Client: BitchX-1.0c19)
In my setup, the remote machine is a Redhat Linux 7.3 x86 machine, but I don't
think that is important.
2. Include explicit and accurate steps to reproduce. Do not include extraneous
or irrelevant steps.
Start an xterm, I'm using "xterm -rv -sl 10000 -sb". Open a ssh connection to
another host. Set the terminal type (TERM) to "xterm" if necessary. On that
remote host, run the BitchX IRC client. In BitchX, run a command such as
"/help" - a command which causes some complex output to be produced. Now, in
a new terminal on the localhost, "kill -9" the ssh process which is handling
the connection showing BitchX.
* RESULTS
After killing the ssh process, the xterm which was hosting that session will
no longer scroll. Press enter, it will process it, but no scroll the screen.
Basically you will only see text input/output on the last line of the
terminal, that is the line which has the window resize widget at the far right
(I assume this is causing the bug).
