_ ## 6. Others
### 6.1 Selection in lists
Please note that in earlier versions, <SPACE> was used for selection. However, since this conflicts with the scrolling behavior in most multiline widgtes, <SPACE> and <C-SPACE> are now exclusively used for scrolling down and up. The characters “v” and “V” are used for selection. This may be altered by setting “`$row_selector`”.
v - toggle selection V - range select a - select all u - unselect all (should be changed, as conflicts with vim undo) * - invert selection - - `ask_unselect` + - `ask_select`
### 6.2 Terminal (TERM) settings
Some terminals (such as xterm) show underlines , however the 256color ones do not.
Some terminals mess the screen output such as `xterm-256color`. At least while working under `tmux` in `iTerm` (with solarized), this terminal was messing the output. Things are fine with `screen-256color`.
