Okay, but I don't understand why gnome-terminal should need a feature
like this? Replacing newlines with spaces seem like it belongs in an
editor?

For example, it's really simple to do this in Gedit. Just use Search >
Replace, and set it to \n and " " (space).

i agree.  a feature like this would have been useful for something
that i was working on a while back, but it doesn't really make a lot
of sense as a terminal feature.

i didn't realize gedit would accept escape sequences as search terms.
it's pretty nice that it does.  maybe there should be a note in the
gedit find dialog that says something like "escape sequences such as
\n, \t, etc are acceptable search terms"?
