This is the only reply I received from you to this thread; you might want to repost. > [on delays and composing symbols] > I have very bad experiences.

The former should never be a problem and I'd assume there's something wrong with your environment if that's happening--normally, the entire escape sequence goes out in a single packet so lag between packets shouldn't affect them at all. (Try vi-like j and k, by the way.) You can set ESCDELAY, if you need to (but you shouldn't.) I tend to lower this a lot, to get better response time for a single ESC. -- Glenn Maynard -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
