[2.33] Ability to turn off local echo when not in character mode?
|
If you are not in character mode, there seems to be no way of turning off local echo, meaning everything is printed twice. So pressing Enter on a blank line results in:
| Quote: |
[root@x ~]#
[root@x ~]# |
Note the blank line. Feels weird.
[Edit: this also applies if you give focus to the command line (which I discovered is a way of sending stuff not in character mode when that is enabled: quite neat).] |

Hmm, you are correct. That's probably a bug that needs to be fixed in CMUD as well.

BTW, PuTTY has options for Local echo: Auto; Force on; Force off. I always use Auto and it's always worked fine. I think it asks the server if it is going to do Local echo. But of course this only works if the server is a telnet or SSH server or similar. I also use PuTTY for connecting to simple sockets like SMTP servers, in which case I need to set the connection type to Raw sometimes (instead of telnet) or the first thing I enter gets garbled due to the telnet stuff PuTTY has already sent. Although actually this may be fixed in the newer version of PuTTY I use these days - I can't replicate this problem with telnet mode on raw servers now.
EDIT: I had been thinking of requesting a Raw mode, but I haven't yet found a need for it. |

Actually, there *is* an option for this. It's in the Scripting Preferences and is called "Echo commands". Turn this off and your command line sent to the MUD will not be echoed on the screen locally. Sorry it's in kind of an obscure location in the preferences.
