stop the beeping in gvim (without :set vb)

[Aljosa Mohorovic]

i would like to stop the beeping in gvim but the only solution i found
was to use ":set vb" which i hate even more.

i was using vim in konsole (kde) and there is a setting in konsole to
disable beep but after i switched to a new lcd monitor colors are
awful and i had to switch to gvim.

is there any way to kill beeping in gvim?

From :help beep

Use visual bell instead of beeping. The terminal code to display the
visual bell is given with 't_vb'. When no beep or flash is wanted,
use ":set vb t_vb=".

Have you tried that setting?

:set vb t_vb=

will disable both the audible bell (by setting 'vb' on) and the visual
bell (by setting t_vb to the empty string).

I use the opposite:

set vb
let &t_vb = "\<C-G>" . &t_vb
if has("autocmd") && has("gui")
au GUIEnter * let &t_vb = "\<C-G>\e|50f"
endif

which sets both an audible bell and a visual bell, by sending the BEL
character (Ctrl-G) in addition to the default setting (for console mode,
depending on the termcap in use) or to a "50 millisecond screen invert"
sequence <Esc>|50f (for GUI mode)

The GUI setting must not be set earlier than the GUIEnter autocommand
event, otherwise it will be overridden when starting the GUI.

Best regards,
Tony.
