It will be URxvt after all...
Categories: [ IT ]
I just switched from using Xterm to using evilvte but then I noticed that evilvte cannot be resize smaller. It can become bigger, but there is no way back. Then I learned that URxvt does everything I want (it even uses the same font as Xterm by default) with a bit of configuration. And it's much more lightweight than evilvte (it doesn't use GTK, that helps).
This is my.Xresources (everything you need to know is in the man page).
*VT100*foreground: black *VT100*background: white URxvt.scrollBar: false URxvt.secondaryScreen: 1 URxvt.secondaryScroll: 0 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,matcher ! old keyword URxvt.urlLauncher: firefox ! new keyword URxvt.url-launcher: firefox URxvt.matcher.button: 1 URxvt.keysym.C-Up: \033[1;5A URxvt.keysym.C-Down: \033[1;5B URxvt.keysym.C-Left: \033[1;5D URxvt.keysym.C-Right: \033[1;5C URxvt.keysym.C-Page_Up: \033[5;5 URxvt.keysym.C-Page_Down: \033[6;5You need to merge it with X's resource database
xrdb -merge .Xresources
and then you can run the terminal.
And Firefox just restored the --remote option, so wmnetselect
should even work again (until next time, anyway). Let's say it was an
opportunity to learn about stuff…
