It's some > kind of visual feedback. I find it enabled when I use 'screen'. This is probably the terminfo visual bell "vb" attribute. You can probably pick a different value for your $TERM environment variable that does not have the "vb" attribute set. Try this: $ tack $TERM <-- Starts tack(1M) n <-- Menu item: begin testing e <-- Menu item: edit terminfo w <-- Menu item: write terminfo q <-- Quit program $ grep :vb: $TERM <-- See if :vb: option is set If your selected TERM has the :vb: attribute, pick another $TERM that doesn't. Cheers!
