Comment (by bonefish):

 Replying to [comment:25 humdinger]:
 > I think 8) is also kinda solved, because after your recent changes, the
 tab says "bash" when not being busy, which then states the currently
 running app. Instead of "bash" it could also just say "--" IMO.

 Did that in r39528. When the shell is active, it doesn't mean one has a
 prompt, though (e.g. try "while true; do echo; done").

 > Yeah, 9) is a bit on the playful side. It made more sense when the tabs
 still were non-descript to have some sort of colour-coding. I'd be content
 closing that one, too.

 *phew* ;-)

 > Which would leave the CTRL+F thing of 1). I do see some sense in that.
 If you have CTRL+W to kill what's left of the cursor, why not CTRL+F for
 the stuff on the right...

 I believe Ctrl-F is mapped to "move cursor forward" by the termcap xterm
 entry (guess what Ctrl-B does! :-)). We could override that, of course,
 but I'm kind of reluctant doing such a thing. Does any distribution of a
 UNIXish system use such an override?
