But you're still not answering my question. What is the advantage of *mis-representing* the size? You say that fish will not work with a too small terminal. Okay, what does that have to do with fish reporting that the terminal is 80x24 to *other programs*? Does fish work better in a too small terminal when it pretends that the terminal is 80x24? If no, what's the point? If yes, can it pretend internally without mis-representing the size to other programs? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Fish-users mailing list Fish-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fish-users
