Did you
remember to start it with "-termtype decansi"? [...]
I guess I should
read the instructions shouldn't I :^)
"When all else fails, read the instructions." :-)
Oh, my gosh! This is pretty much the closest I've
seen to what I'm
looking for in a terminal emulator. A couple questions after looking
through the doc file, is there a way to make the font larger (easier
on the eyes), or get a scroll bar?
Font larger - yes, provided your X setup has such a font (probably so).
I'd suggest a bit of playing around with xlsfonts and xfd to find one
you like. (Note that non-monospaced fonts will look ugly, and
non-charcell fonts will tend to leave turds on the screen.) Then use
-fn or related options/resources. (If you want to switch fonts at run
time, you can either use the add-display DCS sequence or the mtadd
program to throw up a new window (and then have your window manager ask
the old one to go away), or you can use the set-font DCS sequence.)
Scrollbar - this is a SMOP, in sense 2 of the Jaron File entry. You're
far from the first to suggest such a thing, but the internal data
structures are not such as to lend themselves well to adding it; it
would more or less require rewriting a nontrivial fraction of the code.
(It might be possible to kludge such a thing in; provided the window
plus scrollback doesn't go over 32K (or maybe 64K) pixels high, it
might not even be very hard. But it would be an ugly kludge.)
The only problem I see right now is that the delete
key's on the Mac
keyboard aren't mapped right. I'll have to see if I can figure out
how to fix that.
xmodmap may be the tool you want. (May not, too; depends on too many
things I can't tell.)
If I can get that fixed, I'm definitely going to
be using this at
least part of the time!
If it can help you, I'm glad.
