TinTin++ ManualMac OS X terminal emulation notes Mac OS X terminal emulation notes IntroductionTinTin++ features an advanced automapper, scripting language and VT100 interface. The Windows port named WinTin++ (using the PuTTY derived mintty terminal) is available for those who do not use Cygwin (A Linux/Unix emulator for Windows) and runs on Windows Xp, Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8, and 10. TinTin++ features an advanced automapper, scripting language and VT100 interface.

With enough tweaking, it's actually pretty good. Screenrc should fix this (thanks, Dean!)The de facto standard X11 terminal emulator, withstanding the test of time. Resized from 100x80 (preferred) to 80x80 when I attached to screen? (Did screen do that? Why? My only other terminal was attached at 100x80 as well.) Can the resize code be suppressed? (PuTTY has this option.) update: "termcapinfo xterm in. I just haven't had time to check this yet.My favorite in Gentoo. They also suggested mxterm, but that looks old, and I can't find the latest version online or in Darwin Ports. Context menu is broken, can't change font size (update: fixed don't specify XTerm*geometry but rather XTerm*VT100.geometry)Keltor from freenode #irssi suggested I try this instead of xterm. Update: Eterm works _perfectly_! Here's a tar.gz of my ~/.Eterm directory. It just now compiled! Will report back here soon. Can't get it to compile using Darwin Ports, though others seem to be using it fine. Also, of course, not free - but I'm willing to pay for a good emulator. :) (Does it work in Darwine? That could be useful.) I'd rather not do everything through Parallels. Apparently, there's a native OS X port in the works, but there's many issues with it so far (including slow redraw), and development is currently stagnant. Exists in Darwin Ports, but only the tools (pscp, psftp and plink) are installed. If you resize, though, it fixes itself. Terminal.app with Monaco 9, try this: echo '^[[1mm^[[0m' (use ctrl-V ESC to input each ^[) - it should output a white blob which is actually supposed to be a bold/bright "m". To see how bad it looks in e.g. A good terminal emulator should support 16 ANSI colors (if not the extended set of 256). ) With small fonts, I prefer bright colors over bold text. It may not be a complete solution if it doesn't fix the general latency issue (I've noticed that some terminal emulators have noticable time-to-first-character differences I haven't measured it, but it feels like 20ms at least. Jump scroll might solve this somewhat, so let me know if you know of a way to turn it on (assuming it's not enabled by default). Select URLs from a busy chat window - or select any kind of text from anything that scrolls or updates, really. Deselect-on-output makes it impossible to e.g. Also see this StackOverflow post. Someone on freenode #irssi really likes them - he uses -windows-proggyclean-medium-r-normal-13-80-96-96-c-70-iso8859-1 with rxvt.) UPDATE: dalius from freenode #screen suggests the Terminus font this looks pretty good. Maybe I'd get used to it, I don't know. (I've also tried some of the Proggy Fonts, and while I was really excited to find these, they look too weird to me for now. Autocutsel is not the apparent solution. The cutbuffer is not synchronized with the OS X clipboard. Update : 1.5b4 works on Leopard) This is a X11.app issue. (Update : not working on Leopard yet. Since I'm on a Mac, I should be able to do that, right? Check out ICeCoffEE, by the way - it works on Intel Macs, now (thanks to Chris for the note). Office for mac 2011 crashes el capitanIn good emulators, you can change what is considered part of the word. When you double-click on a URL, for example, you should be able to select the whole URL including the : /. Firefox, it won't actually get into the OS X clipboard - aggravating. Even more interestingly, it seems that if your text gets deselected after pressing command-C but before switching to e.g. You should be able to select text and have it be automatically copied to the cutbuffer/clipboard without pressing command-C. One that I always have trouble with is dark blue - it's too dark on a black background. Most emulators let you tune the color mappings. If only the background color is changed, then it may clash too much with the tex on top and become unreadable. Selecting text should invert the text and background colors underneath, IMHO. Note2: Leopard has an SSH agent built in, obviating the need for SSHKeychain. (Let me know if you disagree.) Note: I haven't gotten SSHKeychain to work with DSA keys yet. There's others, but SSHKeychain seems the least flawed. SSHKeychain.app is a great companion to any of these terminal emulators. 5PM Term by Powerlan USA ($209 corp, $130 non) Macworld: Review: Terminal-Emulation Programs () Slashdot | Accurate ANSI Emulation in Mac OS X?

Along those lines, try Terminal Here or iTerm Here. ![]()
