screen works for me.
Authored by: prk on Nov 13, '02 05:45:43PM

I set my TERM to "screen" and it works very well. I get color vim, and when I ssh to my Linux system I get color Mutt. I did not have any problems with setting it to "screen".

One thing that does really get to me is the home, end, pgup, and pgdown keys. Its very hard to use vim for text processing without them (if your used to them). I am now swiching from vim to bbedit. I really miss block select and other things.

Well if you happen to have (another) sack of gold lying around the home you'll be happy to know that the just-released bbedit 7 has rectangular selections. As per the first sentence, you'll probably not be so happy to find out the cost of the update. OUCH!

I have been upgrading BBEdit since I bought the 4.0 version quite a few years ago. For the amount of time I spend in the program, the cost so far has been a bargain. For something like $300 total, I have been able to gain ENORMOUS efficiencies over something like vi (which I also use a LOT) for Perl, Java, HTML and XML development. If they want to ask for $50 every year or year and a half, no problem by me. I've made WAY more than that off of it. Kudos to BareBones. Mr. Sharumpe
