Common Problems

Borders drawn with dashed lines

For terminal in OS X, the origin of the problem is the font. Changing the font from the default Monaco to Menlo fixes the problem. (stackoverflow)

Errors with binding keys

Sometimes an error is encountered when binding keys to non-standard characters, such as the backslash (/) key. The solution is to use single-quotes around the key-combination. For example, use 'M-\' instead of M-\.
