bug#1305: All code that currently beeps should use visual bell instead

I can't really say whether it's better or worse, with visible-bell t on Windows the frame briefly flashes (with the FlashWindow function), a bit like a flash in a terminal.  Among the three visible-bell t behaviors, it's the best one IMO, in the sense that it's visible and not intrusive.

Is it possible to replicate on other systems?

Just so we are on the same page: FlashWindow on MS-Windows doesn't necessarily flash the frame. Or maybe I don't understand what Gregory meant by that.


Yes, "flash" is perhaps not the best word here, perhaps "vibrate" is better.

And no, I don't think it is possible to replicate that behavior on other systems, it's a "window manager" primitive, which AFAIU exists on Windows but not on macOS or GNU/Linux.
