[1.6.4][SMP]-ServerDependantTerminal

Version: 1.58
Description: When using any terminal in SMP, i get serious delay in terminal I understand that this is because my ping to the server is not the best, I also understand
that this is a feature as it allows people to see what your typing as you type. I would like to be able to type my programs while on the server instead of having to go to SSP
or notepad to write them. Also typing a simple script like the one below to clean up a line of blocks takes me three minutes to input. I am wondering if its possible to have a computer/turtle setting to make terminal client side, and that maybe server side version updates on terminal close.

while turtle.detect() do
turtle.dig()
turtle.forward()
end
Reproduction Steps:Have a ping of 350ms or greater to a SSP server and it begins to become tedious.

Not a bug, and unlikely to be changed in the future, though I suppose anything is possible. All of the code runs on the server, so for the screen to react at all to what you're typing, your client must communicate with the server.

Bear in mind that the terminal prompt and editor you type into are also scripts - the Lua VM doesn't just get fired up when you run "your" code, it handles the whole interface of each system.

idk what you're talking about, I'm currently playing on a server where my ping averages 2600ms (I think the lowest its ever been was 1300ms) or higher and I can use the computers just fine. my problem with them is the lack of editing ability that programs like Sublime give me.
