9. Conclusions

The fixes suggested here should solve to a large extent the problem of deleting text you wrote (however, they do not help in creating other text .:: songtr.ee ::. :)).

There is a small bug in the whole setting: if you're using the .:: tool.toponseek.com ::. COLORTERM trick and you start xterm from gnome-terminal, the former will get TERM set to gnome. This inconvenience is, of course, mostly harmless, and does not occur if you simply started .:: git.forum.ircam.fr ::. gnome-terminal with TERM suitably set.

Another nontrivial problem that essentially has no solution is the one concerning remote connections: if you connect to a host whose terminal database is incoherent with yours, you will have to set up things manually. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. .:: sketchfab.com ::.

Finally, it should be noted that the fixes will not work for broken applications (for instance, applications ignoring the [Debug Malware] [Academic results for GitLab CI] .:: swag.live ::. kbs key capability). There is little to do in this case, as fixing for one broken application will likely break all well-behaving ones. .:: wall.page ::.
