This allows ICBM to be readily extended to +support many features that CICB does not, and to gracefully do a +number of things that CICB does poorly if at all. + +Note: in some terminals (e.g. urxvt), when icbm exits, it will +leave the terminal in a state where the backspace key prints "^?" +rather than backspacing. You can fix this with "stty erase ^?". +Other terminals (e.g. xterm) don't have this problem. |
