I try to write some program in Perl I would find useful. Use of editing is very basic and usually I get by with vi/vim recently I try to get used to Nano.In another virtual terminal if copy one file to another or something,the command line words just now got randomly inserted into the file I'm editing in other virtual terminal. Which is distressing. I'm hoping it's just fat fingers and I managed to make some macro I didn't know about.What bothers me is that it seems random where the words go and wonderif opening 2 files in Nano share the same buffer or something and it gets mixed up. Is not a problem I saw before. Any explanation for that ?Well, I know nothing about XFCE terminals, but the obvious thing to check first is that your TERM settings are correct, otherwise the terminals, and nano, might not agree with you on where the cursor is, and where any inserted characters are heading for. ^L is always useful for restoring some sort of sanity, but only for as long as it remains the last keystroke you typed. If that's not the cause, then I think a more precise narrative is necessary for understanding what it is that you're actually doing. Advanced notice of next suggestion: are you typing vim commands into nano? (Easily done.)I do find myself going to type Esc i and Esc d a bit.When I closed all the terminals down there was something about a background process is still running. I think I must have started some process was alive in the other terminal somehow.Was very disconcerting.There was something about the terminal shortcuts overriding other shortcuts in MC as well and I think I've disabled all the terminal shortcuts via the graphical xfce xterm settings menuI adjust the Xfce Terminal settings by opening a Terminal, right-clicking on the Terminal window, and clicking Preferences on the pop-up menu:
Misc
Use middle mouse click to close tabs -> uncheck
Auto-hide mount pointer -> check
Rewrap terminal contents on resize -> check
Automatically copy select to clipboard -> uncheck
Mine are a bit different there, have Use middle mouse click to close tabs use middle mouse click to open URLS Auto hide mouse pointer Open new tab to the right of the active tab Audible bell Visual bell all unchecked except for Auto hide mouse pointer.it happens again, bits of words from elsewhere in the file randomly inserted into the file.
It's not garbage so I don't think is disk corruption or memory.As is executable I sometimes run in other virtual terminal while opened in nano.
Would that cause it?The other thing is I installed gd, think is called, and sometimes if want to copy a single line and change one letter I shift and drag pointer over the line then middle click to paste. Dunno if that could do it. never happened in vi/vim or happened before yesterday.
