>mergemasters is gross.  Have you ever tried to run it on an 80-column display?

Of course; I run in in an 80x24 xterm routinely, twice/day for each of 2
machines, for well over a year.  Within script(1), under screen(1).

I see mergemaster as a vast improvement over what came before it.

If that offends you so much, use a different keyboard layout.  Or submit
patches, so you can enter a character of your choosing to mean "left"
(and (a different) one for "right").

Peace,
david
