When you en‐ +counter a sequence which you really need, implement it. But while you +are at it, do not add the other cruft you might encounter while sneek‐ +ing at other terminal emulators. History has bloated them and there is +no real evidence that most of the sequences are used today. + + +Christoph Lohmann <20h@r-36.net> +2012-09-13T07:00:36.081271045+02:00 + |
