I noticed this change with respect to Solaris 10 in both Openindiana
148 and Solaris 11 Express: when I cut text in one gnome-terminal
window and paste it into another, tabs are no longer expanded to
spaces. I suppose this is better behavior because you generally want
to retain the tabs. However, it's a problem for me when I'm pasting
into an emacs editor session within that terminal window. In that
case, emacs treats the tabs as an indentation command, the same as if
I had typed them by hand. The amount of indentation increases with
each successive tab.
The only solution I've found so far is to type:
M-x global-set-key<RET> <TAB> self-insert-command
before I paste in the text. Are there any better solutions? I know
that emacs in its own window doesn't have this problem, but there are
times I need to run it in tty mode.
