iTerm.app

This is the same as ID: 2513999....I was away from my email and didn't see
the question that was posed before the bug was closed, and I didn't see any
way to reopen it. Here are the details again:
======================================================
I have tried to use:

Terminal Profiles > Default > When idle sends ascii code

as a keepalive solution using various values in this field (such as '0',
'20', and others) but they all seem to create problems. For example, if I
use '20', then:

- if I have vim open, I get things like "E73: tag stack empty" if the
terminal is idle
- if I am using 'tail -f <file>', ^T chars keep getting printed to the
terminal

Every other code I have tried has had one problem or another, all of which
interfere with my ability to use iTerm effectively.

I'm wondering if some other keepalive solution could be implemented.
===========================================================

The question posed was: "What do you suggest we send?"

My response is....I have no idea what should be sent....but other
applications seem to be able to maintain their connections without causing
problems like this. For example, this doesn't happen to me with PuTTY on
Windows. Anyway, this is the ONLY thing that bothers me about iTerm.....I
love it otherwise. Thanks!
