Hi,

Thanks for the patch. I have just commited a change which allows
command functions to take multiple arguments, this conflicts with your
patch but it should be trivial to adapt it.

When you double a modifier dvtm should send it to the underliying
application. This should solve the CTRL+g issue, right?

Ok doubling ^s wouldn't work as the terminal would react two times
so a special function is needed, but wouldn't it be better to
read the key which should be escaped via getch()?

The garbled borders are on a non UTF-8 system, right? If not then make
sure you have compiled dvtm with "make unicode".

Thanks,
