From: Paul <Paul.Domaskis@gmail.com> To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Disable xterm auto-wrap: Mess up vi-like command line Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2015 15:00:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <loom.20150224T155835-41@post.gmane.org> (raw) If I disable auto-wrap, the vi editing at the comand line misbehaves when the line being edited is long, especially when yanking a lot of text and pasting it. I suppose that this might be technically correct behaviour, since an extra long command line needs to wrap in order to see it properly. But I use the vi command line exclusively, and almost always, I don't want autowrap in the results from commands being sent to the screen. Is there a way to get both at the same time, without having to always toggle the xterm autowrap? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
