In my DEC days, we were using VMS workstations and EDT/EVE/LSE, but
somebody switched to Emacs and raved about it. But it ran in DECwindows
GUI, not on VTs. That's why I never switched to it -- on VMS. It may be
fun to do it on Windows/Linux, but, as they say, you learn only 1.01
editors in your life, so I would never be as productive as I am now.
Yes, the question is still, how does one circumvent those legacy
CTRL strokes that are limiting keyboard features which are no
problem on other platforms.
Just checked, SET TERMINAL/PASTHRU and /NOTTSYNC exist.
Any examples where this is put to good use?
