hi all
i realise i didn't say this patch is of use.
when i ssh onto unix or osx i don't use vt(1).
i really like using rio to generate commands using cut and paste, send etc. i like my unix to look and feel like plan9
this means the environment variables ssh expects from vt dont exist. as a result some unix apps like ls and man don’t format their output correctly. this patch allows them to work as expected
re: variable width fonts
as you say, window width has no meaning under these circumstances, however if the app uses tabs you can still get sane formatting.
