You keep saying that, and it took me a while to figure out what you meant, so let me expand.
In screen, the exact work flow was: hilight a selection convert the newlines in the selection to something else copy the selection paste the selection I think what you're asking for is this work flow: copy a selection convert the newlines in the selection to something else paste the selection I don't think any of us talking about emulating screen J actually *care* which of those two is used; I certainly don't. Hopefully everybody can ACK that they understand that you want the second one and stop talking about J in copy mode. :) -Robin On Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 05:11:04PM +0000, Nicholas Marriott wrote: > I think the place for deciding how lines should be joined is in > paste-buffer or save-buffer (they can use common code if > necessary), not in the copy mode. > > > On Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 05:25:36PM +0100, clemens fischer wrote: > > Robin Lee Powell wrote: > > > > > Copying from my other post: > > > > > > The other aspect to it is having a key that can shift between the > > > various options.
