One of the comments on the youtube video says "I need an analog carriage return".
Now that would be cool. Having a physical bell ding every time you hit enter, like an old typewriter!
Edit: I'm aware that typewriters ding before you get to the end, but that would be much harder to implement than just doing it when you hit enter, which would be a close representation. :P
On a typewriter the bell rings before you return the carriage. (By pushing it – if it's manual, there's no such thing as ‘hitting enter’.) It happens a few characters before the end of the line, as a warning that you should go to the next line after the current word, or if it's a long word, think about hyphenation.
Oh, and the typewriters used to perform that song made famous by Jerry Lewis are hacked so the bell can be triggered ad lib — but the sheet music still says to do it before pushing the lever :)
When we preformed this in college orchestra, a percussionist made the "ding" separately from the typewriter and I think it was noted in the score for triangle IIRC.
I assumed as much, just couldn't stop myself from writing a clarification anyway in case some younger readers would get confused.
Initially I found the idea to make it more authentic more fun, but now that you've mentioned ease of implementation — yeah, it wouldn't be that much fun that I could be arsed to, say, patch a terminal emulator.
A text editor plug-in would be easier, though. Get a subtle ding when a line of code is about to get too long, instead of dreading the approaching cliff of a strict ruler :)
Btw., this is quite neat, too: https://youtu.be/qb43-hn_-_c (The download link for the sound pack in the video description still works!)
It is an accurate simulator with all the sounds and quirks of using a real typewriter. All it's missing is the view of the ribbon moving up and down, and of course the letters hitting the paper.
