The question is pretty much in the title. I need to have my terminal in non-canonical mode for some input I am getting from the user (I need to have Ctrl-D act as an immediate "finished" signal, rather than flushing the input when pressed and only EOF-ing when there is no input to flush.), but this makes it impossible to ERASE. I am not ...

I noticed that when I build even a very simple Java program in Eclipse, and I try to run it from the Terminal/Command Line and it gives me errors. I noticed after some hunting around that I have to actually compile the .java file I created in Eclipse in the Terminal to create and run the application. However, I can just save and run in...

Because I'm currently setting up a new server for use, I've been using a lot of command-line programs like curl and wget, and I've noticed that they do something interesting. When run in the Terminal, they print their current progress in place (e.g. 54% will become 55% in place, instead of 55% being printed on the next line - download a ...

The only issue with them is that they both insert empty lines after each LF character, and : -gtkterm cannot record output to a file -cutecom does not "flush" after r...
I use gnome-terminal (Ubuntu 10.10). I like it, though I'd be willing to switch to another for this feature. Can anyone tell me how I can broadcast keystrokes to multiple windows? The closest thing I've found is the "Terminator" program, which allows for broadcasting to multiple tabs, but not to multiple windows. Apparently a similar...
