My excitement at trying out the new features was dampened somewhat by:
guns$ screen
$TERM too long - sorry.
guns$ echo -n $TERM; echo -n $TERM | wc -c
rxvt-unicode-256color 21
Apparently, GNU Screen hard codes `20' as the length of TERM.
guns$ grep -w 20 /usr/local/src/screen-4.0.3/**/*.{c,h} | wc -l
56
There are bug reports about this reaching back to 2008, but no interest
at all from the official maintainers.
While clearly not an rxvt-unicode problem, it's going to be annoying
recompiling screen on every box I ssh into.
Interestingly, there is another common TERM that is over 20 characters:
guns$ ruby -e 'p Dir["/usr/share/terminfo/**/*"].max_by &:length'
"/usr/share/terminfo/73/screen-256color-bce-s"
Goddammit. This may be a good time to switch to tmux.
Cheers,
Sung
