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
