Description Egmont Koblinger 2014-06-10 11:29:19 UTC 
Margin bell is enabled by \e[?44h.  When you type and reach 10 columns from the right, the bell rings.

In xterm, the margin is settable from cmdline; in vte it is hardcoded.

The bell is actually rang on any keypress, e.g. even on Shift, so typing an uppercase letter rings it twice.  Pressing backspace on the margin rings for no use.  Jumping through the column with a Tab or CJK forgets to ring.

What's the point of this feature in a graphical terminal?  Is there anyone using this?  Could we just remove? :)

BTW, reaching the right margin calls gdk_window_beep() but forgets to emit the "bell" signal.
