  • 0

When using Emacs 23 in a terminal with truncate-lines enabled Emacs adds a dollar sign to the end of each line, indicating the text continues past the edge of the screen. This bothers me and I would like to disable this feature or somehow hide the dollar sign. Is this possible? If so how would it be done?

Glyph at end of truncated line.
