This is an incomplete list of applications that can be instrued
to use the vb
entry for the current terminal type:
tcsh
(6.04 and later): "set visiblebell
".
The instruction can appear
in .cshrc
or can be issued interactively. To reset the audible
bell just "unset visiblebell
". To disable any notification issue
"set nobeep
".bash
(any bash, as fas as I know): put "set bell-style visible
"
in your ~/.bashrc
. Possible bell-style's are also "none" or "audible".bash
(with readline
, as well as other readline
based
applications): put "set prefer-visible-bell
" in ~/.inputrc
.nvi
and elvis
: put "set flash
" in ~/.exrc
or tell
":set flash
" interactively (note the colon).
To disable the visible bell use noflash
in place of flash
.emacs
: put "(setq visible-bell t)
" in your ~/.emacs
.
It is disabled by "(setq visible-bell nil)
".less
: use "-q
" on command line to use the visual bell,
use "-Q
" to disable any reporting. Default options can be put in
your environment variable "LESS
".screen
: issue the CtrlA-CtrlG command. It works on all the
virtual screens. Refer to the man page under "CUSTOMIZATION" for
setting the default.xterm
: xterm can convert each bell to either a visible or audible
signal. It defualt to audible, but you can use the "-vb

option and the "xterm*visualBell: true
" resource. You can toggle
visible/audible signaling on the fly with the control-mouse-1 menu.-f
volume" commandline option. "volume" is
