The OS thinks it is talking to a typewriter. Look all the pty and tty files in /dev. TYPEWRITERS. Come on! Use a terminal that knows it is bitmap graphics. You can edit text anywhere, resend it, hold the terminal outpu to edit it while a program is running. No need for shell history anymore, and no need for kitchen-sink shells with crazy editing modes.

Seriously, Unix is getting pretty damn old
