====== XTerm ======
**XTerm** is a [[terminal]] emulator for [[X11]]. It comes with X11 and provides full [[VT100]] emulation! However its defaults are not that great.
===== Tweaks =====
==== Fix ctrl key ====
To enable [[Emacs]] style key combinations, add ''XTerm.VT100.modifyOtherKeys: 1'' to ''~/.Xdefaults''
==== Change the font ====
Run ''xfontsel'' and add ''XTerm*font:<font line>'' to your ''~/.Xresources''.
  *Ex: ''XTerm*font: -schumacher-clean-*-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*''
==== Disable the scrollbar ====
''xterm*ScrollBar: off''
==== No bold font ==== 
''xterm*font: fixed''
==== Fix alt key ====
''XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true''
==== Fix backspace ====
