Hey All, Computers beep by default when you make a mistake. This sucks in a concert. I have recently installed Mac10.4. When I turn off the system volume in the system preferences the terminal will still beep at me. Also vim beeps at me. Here are a few things I did to stop the beeping. Terminal: In window settings in the Terminal menu there is now a tab for emulation where the audible bell option lies. Unclick this little monster to make your shell stop beeping. Vim: In your .vimrc file I had to put set noerrorbells in order to stop the beeping. I know that this is different in Linux to get bash to stop. What about windows? Emacs? I am sure a lot of you will have figured most of this out but it should help that we don't have to hear nasty system sounds at ChucK shows in the future. Cheers, --art
