So far I have experienced no odd behavior and I think I might adopt xterm as my default terminal, it just seems more mature and competent than Eterm. For gnome-terminal, the VSZ (virtual size) is about 5-8 times larger and RSS (resident set size) is about 4-5 times larger than for xterm. Tmux popped up, and many users switched over. GNU screen became essentially unmaintained. This was noted by running a program on the linux machine written for xterm. There are a number of non-native terminal.
#XTERM VS PTERM WINDOWS#
Basically, for fun I did a ssh to a linux computer and noticed that the console implementation in Windows tries, but does not quite succeed, in emulating terminal sequences for Xterm. In the case of xterm, set the TERM environment variable to xterm, or xterm-color if your xterm supports it. Same thing happened with terminal multiplexers perhaps. Windows console does not implement many vt100/xterm controls. And xterm is getting patches quite frequently these days. Plus, one doesnt need any urxvt perl extensions. It involves a little bit more work to set up but then most good things do. So far I have experienced no odd behavior and I think I might adopt xterm as my default terminal, it just seems more mature and competent than Eterm. The xterm command automatically highlights the text cursor when the pointer enters the window (selected) and unhighlights it when the pointer leaves the window (unselected). But Ive noticed that a well-configured xterm is snappy and simple. PTerm is a modern Go module to beautify console output. I have been using Eterm for some time now because enlightenment is my normal choice on Linux and I have never really needed anything else, however, I have noticed that on my machine at work I was getting some odd behavior when using ALT-TAB to switch between terminals so I decided to try xterm instead and I have to say I am very impressed with it.
