When the output in term is longer than the frame it will wrap the line. But when I copy and paste the output, I found the output will break under the wrap point, because it treat it as line break. How can I avoid this behavior? I test eshell, which is good and will not break the wrap.

I am using zsh under term.

  • @Dan I don't see what's the big deal about imaginary-point allocation, considering they've already credited me in the text of the question. – npostavs Jan 1 '18 at 21:56
  • @npostavs: I don't think OP intended anything malicious. It's just the politeness norm that the person who offered the idea should either get the acknowledgement, or at least be offered the opportunity to forgo the points. You're not concerned about the point allocation for yourself, which is no problem. I'm not concerned for myself either. But not everyone agrees with that, and, at a minimum, I always appreciate when I'm in this situation and get to choose to forgo something. – Dan♦ Jan 1 '18 at 23:34
