I'd also to use the terminal more ofthen, but I'm having trouble 
with cursor tracking with many programs that I'd like to use.

For example if I'm using the editor vim, the cursor is not reading the 
actual line in many situations, and this behaviour I also have in 
other editors.

Or if I like to use the textbased mailprogram mutt, which is my 
favorite mailprogram under linux, also the cursor is not tracked in the 
list view with the mails.

It seems like cursor tracking, especialy softcursortracking, is not 
possible in the terminal, but to use textbased programs that have menues 
etc., softcursortracking is mandatory.

Maybe I have a wrong setup and something can be optimized by making the 
right settings for the terminal app or VoiceOver, but everything I found 
in the web or I've asked in some lists regarding this issue did not help 
:-(.

Are you using textbased apps that are using softcursors or what kind of 
things are you doing with the terminal? Which editor do you use in the 
terminal for example?

Ciao and all the best from Munich,

  Christian
