![]() home/vermaden/.fonts/ubuntu-mono-bold.ttf home/vermaden/.fonts/ubuntu-mono-bold-italic.ttf Many times after adding fonts to my system – and renaming them to my ‘standard’ which looks like that one below I was asking myself how to properly specify the variant I need. This advice is not limited to xterm(1) but its worth to mention it. I will not discuss all possible settings as they are well described in the xterm(1) man page but I will comment some more useful and interesting ones. : select-end(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\Ĭtrl Shift C: copy-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\Ĭtrl Shift V: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) Xterm*iconHint: /home/vermaden/.icons/vermaden/xterm.xpm Alternatively some people use ~/.Xresources file. ![]() Selection Buffers and Keyboard Shortcutsįirst lest start with some reasonable configuration in the ~/.Xdefaults file.This is the Table of Contents for this article. That is why I will omit it in this article – but I mention it since its also nice terminal. Recently also sakura(1) got my attention – but it’s theming possibilities are even more limited then xterm(1) with themes/colors hardcoded directly into the source code. Unfortunately it has some issues with fonts rendering – making larger spaces between the lines and making fonts bigger for example – but as I also like bitmap fonts like CLEAN or FIXED – so I use bitmap fonts for urxvt(1). The other one that always got my attention was urxvt(1) terminal. I do not remember last time when I had to manage these archaic systems but the respect for xterm(1) remains. Mostly because of its good compatibility with all UNIX systems – especially the older ones like IBM AIX or HP-UX. I already once wrote about random xterm(1) themes in the FreeBSD Desktop – Part 12 – Configuration – Openbox part – but I really wanted to expand that topic and also include other terminals.Īfter trying many terminal emulators – some more bulky like Konsole/ GNOME Terminal/ XFCE Terminal/ MATE Terminal – some more lightweight like st (1)/ rox-term(1)/ eterm(1)/… – I always went back to the most old-school and basic one – good old xterm(1) terminal. You may want to check other articles in the FreeBSD Desktop series on the FreeBSD Desktop – Global Page where you will find links to all episodes of the series along with table of contents for each episode’s contents. This post will guide you through the needed steps to make that setup working. Since then I reworked that feature a little and also added random theme and background selection for urxvt(1) terminal. Some time ago when I was mostly writing about Openbox setup I also showed how to setup xterm(1) so it will start with new random theme with each start.
