Many other Alt+keys cause beeps. > All of them should send ESC + the character (e.g. ESC a for Alt+a). Yes they do. But there seems to be no meaning defined yet in my xterm applications. The eight bit characters have the advantage of yielding a visible result - except Alt+Spacebar which i now have overridden. > this allows one to do > various things depending on the key bindings of the shell. I will hopefully remember this thread if i find a reason to do such bindings. > You can fill a feature request for xterm to have > NO-BREAK SPACE displayed in some given color (a bit like what > Emacs does in a terminal) or in some alternative way. I guess it is a matter of font whether there is a visible glyph. Googling reveils that there exist at least 20 different space characters. https://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/chars/spaces.html Their purpose is to be invisible in various different ways. It's not a bug, it's a feature. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
