Is there any way to disable the bell in wintin++?

[Scandum]

You can edit the short cut and add +vb to the target field which will change the default bell to a visual bell that flashes the window.

I was thinking more of when you press backspace the bell goes ding, and that's kind of annoying when you play from work

And no I cant just turn off the sound since im listening to winamp radio.

[Scandum]

In that case use +vb in the short cut to enable the visual bell.

I can see where that would be annoying. I know when using vim that beep/ding/bell hurts my ears, and is just generally a huge annoyance. Maybe add in a config option for erronous bell, and just add a small one-line ifcheck to see if the config is on or off?

[Scandum]

The backspace bell is generated by readline, so it may be possible to disable it in the .inputrc file. There's not a whole lot I can do about it till I add custom readline support.

It appear readline does have an option for this

"set bell-style none" - no bell
"set bell-style visual" - visual bell (flashes the screen instead of beeping)
"set bell-style audible" - audible bell
