I'm not sure what you mean by these assertions. GNU screen already has many of these digraphs; I don't know why you mention vim. Are you arguing against the feature?

Speculation on performance changes without any measurement is usually wrong. In this case, the feature already exists in GNU screen. Can you measure the change in performance and post again with the measurements you find objectionable? -- \ "I have one rule to live by: Don't make it worse." -- Hazel | `\ Woodcock | _o__) | Ben Finney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
