Hi guys...
Is there any news regarding this?
I'm on tmux 1.5, and having problem with tmux overwriting existing content
on the terminal when starting vi.
I cannot send clear as '\E[H\E[2J' with either terminal-override:
set -g terminal-overrides '*:smcup@:rmcup@:clear=\E[H\E[2J'
or by compiling my own terminal.
Recapping what the problem is (in the well crafted words of Fabian in an
earlier post):
---
What typically happens is something like this for a 4 line terminal:
shell% ls
file1
file2
shell%
Now if I would type vim as command (and execute it by pressing enter),
what I want to happen, is that the above 4 lines are moved up in my
terminal's buffer, and Vim to use "new space" below what was already on
the screen.
---
I really like tmux, but this behavior is a showstopper for me and many
co-workers that now use screen.
Thanks a bunch :)
