Ok, but is that behaviour just at the shell prompt, or if you run "cat" then do the same, ie you are typing in cat rather than at the shell, does the cursor also move wrongly? Eg do: $ cat abcdef<backspace> Instead of at the shell prompt. I'm trying to work out if this is because tmux is getting the wrong thing from zsh, or getting the right thing from zsh but displaying the wrong thing for xterm. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced > analytics on semi-structured data.
