It applies Vim's -T option to force the terminal to a +"dumb" terminal. +.SH CAVEATS +This breaks switching to visual mode with :visual completely, as the terminal +will persist in its dumb state. I'm not sure there's a way to fix this. If +there were a Vim :autocmd for mode switching, it might be possible, or perhaps +by wrapping :visual somehow to :set terminal=$TERM before the switch. +.SH AUTHOR +Tom Ryder <tom@sanctum.geek.nz> |
