I don't understand, because there's neither here in my output: $ infocmp screen | grep -o '\(smso\|sgr\)=[^,]*,' sgr=\E[0%?%p6%t;1%;%?%p1%t;3%;%?%p2%t;4%;%?%p3%t;7%;%?%p4%t;5%;m%?%p9%t\016%e\017%;, smso=\E[3m, (on archlinux, /usr/share/terminfo/s/screen is owned by ncurses 5.9-1) Thanks for explaining this issue again for me. I'm just too lazy to make or change terminfo db entries on all my machines, but afterall your new feature adds to tmux capabilities. I used a simpler workaround which gave me back what I grew accustomed to: terminal-overrides "*:sitm@,ritm@,bce,colors=88,*88col*:colors=88,*256col*:colors=256" My problem actually wasn't missing italics: when using the highligthing search in manuals, where "man <something>" uses the less pager, the first thing I noticed was the prompt area: all italics, barely readable, and instead of highligthed substrings italics which just cannot be found as easily (read: almost impossible to spot, making searches more trouble instead of less). clemens ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
