I just compiled zsh-2.6beta9 (was using 2.6beta-3), and now, on initial
login shells, single_line_zle mode gets set on me. I login to an ISP via
modem, and my terminal defaults to 'unknown'. It seems that zsh notices
this and sets single_line_zle (-M) on me.
According to the zshzle man page:
: There are two display modes. The first, multiline mode, is the default.
: It only works if the TERM parameter is set to a valid terminal type that
: can move the cursor up. The second, single line mode, is used if TERM is
: invalid or incapable of moving the cursor up, or if the SINGLE_LINE_ZLE
: option is set. This mode is similar to ksh, and uses no termcap sequences.
The shell, however, sets the SINGLE_LINE_ZLE option _if_ "TERM is invalid or
capable of moving the cursor up". Not quite what the man page states.
I don't quite understand why the change was made. Anyone logging in on a
machine that sets the terminal type to 'dumb/network/unknown' must now
manually unset single_line_zle mode.
