Its late, so this is a bit fuzzy in my mind right now... but, possible solution would be to make a plugin, and have it automatically add a character to the line, using plugin callbacks.

[edit]

I should probably check for updates before I post... oh well.

Ah, I see. In that case, install this plugin, it will suppress blank lines. It uses the plugin callback OnPluginSend to detect and discard them ...

Well, I made a script to use in Mushclient to function as a client for a certain chat room, which uses a unique protocol. Whenever a bad command is sent to the server it automatically bans you for 24 hours, and blank lines count as a bad command. So if I ever accidentally press enter, I'm banned for the whole day.

Take a look at the release notes for version 3.35, in particular point 13, sub-point "h" onwards.

http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/showrelnote.php?version=3.35&productid=0

In essence, a blank line is treated as a bit of a special case, and does not go through alias processing.

It's not working.

Here's my alias for catching the blank line.

But it's not even calling the script function.

Try:

Click File, Global Preferences, General (tab), and check the box [ ] Regular expressions can match on an empty string

I can't seem to find a way for an alias to stop a blank line from being sent. My only alias is *, which I would hope would match everything that's ever typed in, but it doesn't match on a blank line. ^$ looks like it would work, but it doesn't either. I don't know a whole lot about regular expressions, could there be a better one that will work?
