Is it possible to not only gag certain text, like:

#GAG you drink from a decanter

But actually stop zmud from "jumping" one line (each line that is gagged is produced like a blank line)?

Indeed, these empty lines can be really annoying if you use gag a lot :>

Kindly,

The #GAG shouldn't remove that line of text completly without leaving a blank line behind. Kaishaku had a problem like this recently, they found that the blank line being left by the gag was caused by the GA/EOR emulation. Maybe you could try unchecking that option and see if that helps any?

Hope this helps,

#GAG actually eats the current line's return character, but it doesn't touch the following one that causes the double-spacing. It's this leftover blank line you see "jump", not the line you just gagged.

Therefore, you have two (and a half) options:

1)create a separate blank-line trigger to eat up the blank lines either on a continuous basis (no blanks at all) or during certain periods of time.

Style 1
#trigger {some text} {#T+ tBlank;#gag}
#trigger "tBlank" {^$} {#gag;#t- tBlank}

Style 2
#trigger {^$} {#gag}

2)as of public version 6.40 and later (or, I think, version 6.26 beta if you're still using it--assuming it hasn't expired already), you can use a multi-state trigger who's last condition looks something like this:

#trigger {blah blah} {more blah}
#cond {$} {#gag}

This method has the advantage that you already know there's going to be a blank line following the trigger pattern so you don't need to check anything or otherwise bother with other triggers (in case you only want to remove certain blank lines).

2.5)#GAG has an alternative syntax that allows you to specify which lines to gag in relation to the current line. #GAG -2 will gag the last two lines received (current and the one before it, I believe), while #GAG 2 will gag the current line and the next line received. In both instances, you do not have any control over whether you gag the wrong lines or not.

EDIT: If you do end up gagging the wrong line(s), you can ungag them using the #UNGAG command.
