Turns out, you can customize xterm and tell it which characters belong to words and which don't. man xterm, look for "charClass". The quick fix is: echo >> ~/.Xresources "xterm*charClass: 45:48" xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources If you use xterm, it should be useful for you. By the way, it turned out some time ago that the dot is also a legal character as far as pkgnames are concerned. I learned that when creating a catalog with SUNW packages. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
