Future Terminal Emulator?
in [Solaris]

Prev: sun ssh without a password again
Next: CDE: on xp, alt-tab pops up box of icons, easy choice. CDE did too, but stopped.
From: Hugh Coomes on 18 Feb 2010 10:52 I am still using xterm, primarily because I have not found another terminal emulator that matches the xterm capability of mapping keystroke output (using the X resource: XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override). Are there any other terminal emulators that implement mapping of keystroke output in a complete and reasonable manner ?

It is still a part of Solaris/OpenSolaris. Casper -- Expressed in this posting are my opinions. They are in no way related to opinions held by my employer, Sun Microsystems.

Always is consistant and there.

Always is consistant and there. I think xterm arrived almost before X11 itself! /michael

I wouldn't be surprised if there were none. - What you see in xterm, is (somewhat automatically) implemented by means of the translation tables in libXt. - rxvt avoids linking libXt by intention, aiming at a smaller footprint. - younger terminal emulators might consider libXt as oldfashioned. BTW, see also - the "X Toolkit Intrinsics F.A.Q" http://www.faqs.org/faqs/Xt-FAQ/ - and here I collected what I found interesting http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/X11/xterm/ |
