Indeed and I, too, have configured tools like Mutt not to add a + at the beginning of nontinuation lines that are the continuation of a previous one. And actually, the URL business would, IMO, deserve a thread on its own. Would be really curious to know how you all deal with the very long ones that do not fit the 80-characters terminals. Unless, of course, you use very large terminals which I do not do because I find they give me toomuch space to explore, hader for me to build a mental representation of. > > > 2) Bracketd paste.

My take away is that this lets applications make the difference between text typed at thekeyboard and text pasted from a clipboard, so that the target application can adjust its behaviour, which avoids having to worry about uatoindent being turned on or not, as Dave mentionned. The other thing that I seem to understand is that this is purely a matter of communication between applications and the terminal they are running in, with the consequence that you should be able to benefit from it as soon as you run BRLTTY with the AT-SPI2 screen driver, code a2. Are you willing to give thisa try? If we wanted to benefit from this feature on the virtual consoles, though, AIUI one would have to add support for the bracketing escape sequences to the kernel, plus one would have to make sure applicatoins like text editors can effectively deal with them in the virtual consoles, which I have no idea whether it's the case or not. Finally, perhaps text terminal emulators like tmux or others know how to do that? Seb. _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
