:I am running zsh-3.1.9 under Linux (Mandrake 7.2)
:on an i686 and I would like to put a control
:sequence for xterm, namely, "ESC ]2; <something> BELL"
:in the propmpt, in order to write <something>
:to the title bar of the window. Unfortunately,
:it makes troubles with the line editor
:(I am in emacs mode).
Sequences in the prompt which don't cause cursor movement need to
be enclosed within %{ and %} sequences. See "PROMPT EXPANSION"
in the manual. Also, the proper sequence terminator is 0x9c (8bit)
or ``ESC \'' 0x1b 0x5c (7bit). BEL (0x07) is not a standard
terminator.
You may also look at precmd() or similar as an alternative to using
the prompt.
:Could you, please, inform me in the case someone
:fixes the bug for a future release ?
No, nobody's going to bother replying to invalid email addresses.
