Well, since fish is written from scratch, it was pretty easy to simply use wchar_t instead of char, and get most of the support for free. A Terminal question: Are there any plans to add support for setting the terminal statusbar message using \e]2;MESSAGE\a? Fish only tries to use this feature under terminals that support it, but unfortunatly this detection breaks when one is using GNU screen, so the combination of OS X Terminal, screen and fish forces you to manually disable this feature. Also, how about shipping fish as the default OS X shell? :-D > > -Ben -- Axel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
