alt Hacker NewsWhat you’re describing would be a completely unusable terminal. You’d lose things as basic as the backspace key. And what’s wrong with Terminal.app indicating when it’s suppressing output?

Terminal.app does not suppress output in my example.
The ssh command switches the terminal into no-echo mode with termios flags.
Terminal.app, being clever, watches for disabled echo (among other things) and assumes a password is being entered and displays the key icon and enables Secure Event Input.
I don't want Terminal.app to be clever.
