That's the one. This will only work for programs using readline
however. Also, you need to restart the program in question, eg. bash.

This is my ~/.inputrc:

set convert-meta off
set meta-flag on
set output-meta on
set bell-style none

But those meta-lines are there for internationalization purposes.

See readline(3) for more info.

At least you could have readline ommit the beep and issue a visual
signal, bu placing this in your .inputrc-file:

   set bell-style visible

This wil hoevere only affect thoes programis using the readline
system, eg. bash among others.

console beep?

2006-03-01 Thread Andrew Spott
Hi.  I'd like to change the console beep to a visual beep whenever
possible.  Not only in X, but also in the console.

Is this possible?

thanks,

-Andrew
