the screen? The user sees that the shell is alive without wasting
screen space.

Well personally I use pressing enter to see how alive my ssh
connections are (Ie. how fast the next line comes back). Flashing
would be worse than the current behaviour from my POV.

How is flashing worse than doing nothing?

Probably it's better than nothing, but it's not intuitive whether the flash derives from the local shell or the remote shell, especially if the delay is small.

Excuse this direct question but I don't understand where you're coming from and even after reviewing the thread(s) I haven't found an explanation: what exactly is your objection to scrolling on enter?
