I'm not 100% sure, but this should not depend on your window manager, but rather on the individual application you are working in. Examples: - In the bash, to turn off the beep when e.g. completion does not give you a unique result, you need to create a ~/.inputrc and put into it: set bell-style off This will silence ALL applications that are based on libreadline, not just bash. - In vi, to avoid the bell when..well, almost everywhere :-), you could put this into your .exrc or .vimrc: :set vb (vb = visualbell) I believe for emacs something similar should exist, but I'm not an emacs user. Hope that helps, Frank
