I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but setting termcapinfo seems to
have no effect. I tried to get all possible combinations with:
termcapinfo linux cnorm=\E[?34h\E[?3c
termcapinfo screen cnorm=\E[?34h\E[?3c
termcapinfo screen.linux cnorm=\E[?34h\E[?3c
But in screen infocmp | grep cnorm still shows:
cnorm=\E[34h\E[?25h
Isn't it meant to show the changed setting? I tried running mutt and
finch, but they still reset the cursor.
The first line of infocmp:
# Reconstructed via infocmp from file:
# /usr/share/terminfo/s/screen.linux
screen.linux|screen in linux console,
TERM is screen.linux
Screen version 4.06.02
