Something happened with the frame rate of terminal emulators lately. It looks like there’s a trend to run at a high framerate now? I’m not sure exactly. This can be seen in VTE-based terminals like my xiate or XTerm on Wayland. foot and st, on the other hand, are fine.

My shell prompt and cursor look like this:

$ █

When I keep Enter pressed, I expect to see several lines like so:

$
$
$
$
$
$
$ █

With the affected terminal emulators, the lines actually show up in the following sequence. First, we have the original line:

$ █

Pressing Enter yields this as the next frame:

$
█

And then eventually this:

$
$ █

In other words, you can see the cursor jumping around very quickly, all the time.

Another example: Vim actually shows which key you just pressed in the bottom right corner. Keeping j pressed to scroll through a file means I get to see a j flashing rapidly now.

(I have no idea yet, why exactly XTerm in X11 is fine but flickering in Wayland.)

I probably should implement some editing feature in tt. Sure, I can easily edit my feed in vim to fix typos. But then I still have to manually remove the old message from the cache so that the new message is inserted on next reload and I don’t end up with “duplicates” in the message tree.

↳ In-reply-to » Ha, I just learned that deleting text in my zsh with Ctrl+U to the front or Ctrl+K to the end puts it in a buffer that can be pasted by pressing Ctrl+Y! That's neat. Even removing the last word with Ctrl+W moves it into this paste buffer.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ctrl-U in Vim does something similar (“Delete all entered characters before the cursor in the current line”), but it does not put them into the “clipboard”. I sometimes hit Ctrl-U by accident and then my text is gone. 😡😂
