Well, if the screen does not support the control characters defined for xterm-color or screen, the $TERM can create such anomalies. Try other export TERM=model, like xterm-color for screen and vice-versa, or something simpler like vt100, XTERM. I am assuming zsh does something sane on the proper term type. I am not a zsh user yet.

Hi all,
I recently discovered the ! command. I think it's great that !cd ? will match the last command that began with cd ?. However, for ! to be particularly useful to me (for now anyway) it would be nice if there was a tab completion option available (as with the cd command). Does anyone know... (3 Replies)

I've posted about this before, but only recently narrowed the problem down to a specific cause.
Ok, first of all, the behavior:
It occurs when autocompletion brings up its list (not when there is only a single option). Basically, if I were to type, say,
cd ~/<TAB>
I would get something... (2 Replies)

Hi,
I'm having a problem with tab completion at the bash command line. For some reason, whenever I type g<tab>, the terminal will freeze up for 5-10 seconds before asking me if I want to display all 325 possibilities.

lxterm
lxterm(1) General Commands Manual lxterm(1)
NAME
lxterm - locale-sensitive wrapper for xterm
SYNOPSIS
lxterm [ xterm-options ]
DESCRIPTION
lxterm is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes xterm, koi8rxterm(1), or uxterm(1) as appropriate, based on the user's locale
setting. All arguments to lxterm are passed to xterm without processing; the -class, -k8, and -u8 options should not be specified because
they are used by koi8rxterm and uxterm. See the xterm manual page for more information on xterm-options.
The locale(1) utility is used to determine the character set used by the current locale. If the character set is UTF-8, uxterm is invoked;
if the character set is KOI8-R, koi8rxtem is invoked; otherwise, 'plain' xterm is invoked.
