I have noticed that when typing in vim which is being run as vi, I get all sorts of extraneous chatter as I type. It is annoying to say the least. I am sure what is happening is vim is echoing not only the key that was typed which is a good thing but it is also sending VT100 escape sequences or perhaps it is replacing what was on the screen with the newly-struck character. If I am on an older Linux system in vi, all I hear are normal letters and numbers while typing so it isn't always a problem. Is there anything I can do in any of the terminal utilities to fix this minor but annoying issue? Thank you. Martin McCormick P.S. This is not a show stopper but if I had the choice of no garbage or garbage, I, of course, would rather toss the garbage. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
