Usable xterm
As a security engineer, I spend most of my working day in a linux CLI environment. So I’d like to have the fastest & least resource hogging tool for the job.
I did some research, and found two interesting takes on the issue, one on lwn.net and one on danluu.com.
After reading that, I decided to try out xterm, so I ran xterm
.
As you could see, there’s a slight size and color issue.
I looked around xterm’s man page, and managed to put together the following command to get a usable xterm.
xterm \
-fa 'Monospace' \
-fs 12 \
-bg black \
-fg lightgray \
-sl 1000000 \
-aw \
-cr darkgreen \
-j +vb +mb \
-xrm 'XTerm*selectToClipboard: true' \
-xrm 'xterm*VT100.Translations: #override \ Ctrl Shift <Key>V: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\ Ctrl Shift <Key>C: copy-selection(CLIPBOARD)'
It works much better now.
