Howdy,

A while ago, I mentioned to you that I often hit a "SlyEdit: Input timeout reached." (and logging in as Sysop I didnt expect to be hit with any timeouts).

Lately, I've hit it a few times, which is particuarly annoying when I'm half way thorough a large messages.

I've noticed its very much random in its timing. Sometimes it would happen within seconds of composing a messages, othertimes I could leave Slyedit running for hours and it would happen. So I thought it might be a key sequence that I'm hitting.

Sure enough, I've noticed that whenever I hit CTRL-Space (I'm on a MAC - and sometimes I hit that by mistake), Slyedit aborts with "Input timeout reached".

I dont always use Syncterm - often iTerm (a MAC telnet client), and I dont think it happens in Syncterm.

So just wondering if there is a keyboard input sequence that you are not trapping that results in going to "Input timeout reached" and aborts the editor. I can pretty much do it everytime now.
