Usually youll want to use xterm, xterm-16color or xterm-256color. Is there anyone who could help By advance, many thanks. uxterm is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes the latter program. I would have thought that the terminal scrolls up but nothing happened. As Gettys tells the story, "part of why xterm's internals are so horrifying is that it was originally intended that a single process be able to drive multiple VS100 displays." Īfter many years as part of the X reference implementation, around 1996 the main line of development then shifted to XFree86 (which itself forked from X11R6.3), and it is now maintained by Thomas Dickey. To use it, type many characters until reaching and exceeding the number of rows (10). It rapidly became clear that it would be more useful as part of X than as a standalone program, so it was retargeted to X. It was originally written as a stand-alone terminal emulator for the VAXStation 100 (VS100) by Mark Vandevoorde, a student of Jim Gettys, in the summer of 1984, when work on X started. Xterm originated prior to the X Window System. Those options have limitations, as discussed in the xterm manual. Normally focus switches between X applications as the user moves the pointer (e.g., a mouse cursor) about the screen, but xterm provides options to grab focus (the Secure Keyboard feature) as well as accept input events sent without using the keyboard (the Allow SendEvents feature).
#UXTERM USE MANUAL#
See the xterm manual page for more information on xterm-options. All arguments to uxterm are passed to xterm without processing the -class and -u8 options should not be specified because they are used by the wrapper. Each xterm window is a separate process, but all share the same keyboard, taking turns as each xterm process acquires focus. uxterm is a wrapper around the xterm (1) program that invokes the latter program with the oqUXTermcq X resource class set. Assuming the standard app-defaults files, this command will launch xterm able to switch. The standard XTerm app-defaults file defines both sets of fonts, while the UXTerm app-defaults file defines only one set.

The default is to use the same foreground color that is used for text.
#UXTERM USE WINDOWS#
An X display can show one or more user's xterm windows output at the same time. This option specifies the color to use for text cursor. If you are using Ubuntu, you should also have gnome-terminal installed. The main difference between XTerm and Terminal is that the gnome-terminal has more features, while XTerm is minimalistic (though it has features that are't in gnome-terminal, but they are more advanced). And these menu options are completely unaffected by what is set by xtermfont in. UXTerm is XTerm with support to Unicode characters. Using the 'Remote XDMCP Session' option you can project the desktop environment defined for the remote Linux system in a single window on your local Windows. If no particular program is specified, xterm runs the user's shell. But, for example, ctrl + right-click on an xterm window opens up a menu in which the font size can be set in six levels, from 'Unreadable' to 'Huge', excluding a 'Default' setting, which sets the font to what is given by the xtermfont option. To do this, use the 'Bookmarks' menu option, select 'Manage my bookmark', click 'Create', enter the requested information, and click the 'Create a desktop shortcut to this bookmark' button.
