[Bug 1350334] Re: copy/paste garbage while using mc, due to lack of support of bracketed paste mode

2014-08-01 Thread Egmont Koblinger
Gnome-terminal (actually vte) has fixed this issue and this fix will appear in Utopic. If Terminator finally updated their code to Gtk3 (which apparently nobody is working on), it would also automatically get the fix. In my experiences, it's very hard to get Ubuntu folks pay attention to bugs

2014-08-09 Thread Egmont Koblinger
I'm sure this behavior won't change. TAB is not a regular character, it is a control character, just like let's say escape sequences that move the cursor; copy-pasting doesn't include those either. It's a bonus that gnome-terminal tries to remember when a tab was emitted, most terminal emulators

Yup, there's nowhere to drag that tab because the tab bar is not shown. I don't know what a proper solution could be. As a workaround, you can open a temporary second tab (next to the one you wish to drag), then you can drag the desired one and finally close the temporary one. -- You received

If you're using UTF-8 character set, you need to execute stty iutf8, so that a stty -a reports back iutf8. For non-UTF-8, the command to be executed is stty -iutf8 and accordingly stty -a should report -iutf8. Gnome-terminal sets this according to the initial character set of the terminal, but
