When I start screen from gnome-terminal on Ubuntu 10.04.3, and do something that produces a bell (e.g. hit tab twice from within bash), I'm getting an ASCII BEL character displayed literally by screen, rather than a visual or audible bell.
$ echo $TERM xterm $ screen -c /dev/null $ echo $TERM screen $ ls /tmp/^[g # typed <TAB><TAB> after /tmp/ screen in gnome-terminal renders the ASCII BEL as a little square with 1's and 0's in it (e.g. binary) to represent the control key, followed by the g. When I cut and paste into emacs, I see it as ^[g. After this bell shows up in my terminal, the ncurses position for the line is screwed up (off by some number of characters), especially if I use a key sequence to move to the beginning or end of the line. Starting a new command or 'clear'-ing the screen "fixes" this issue. I've tried numerous combinations of bell*/vbell* and terminfo/termcapinfo settings, including the apparently widely used: terminfo xterm 'vb=\E[?5h$<200/>\E[?5l' termcapinfo xterm 'vi=\E[?25l:ve=\E[34h\E[?25h:vs=\E[34l' ...but my .screenrc doesn't seem to be particularly relevant here (as exhibited by the 'screen -c /dev/null' above). Spare a clue as to how I can get the bell to do something useful like flash the terminal display? (No audible bells, please. :-) Thanks, - Dan _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
