I've been using gnome-terminal for years. Usually with just one tab opened in to a master screen session. It isn't uncommon to have 20+ active sessions on various systems. The most I've had running under normal use was around 50.
What I do is create a master screen session with ctrl-f as escape key, with no hardstaus line. Then I can spawn sub screens with ctrl-a (default) as escape, with a custom hardstatus at the bottom (window name, color highlights). Finally, I have scripts that auto-title the terminal windows as I move in and out of servers. I also have "action scripts" that auto-label a screen as needing attention. A quick ctrl+f " shows me all my auto-labeled top level screen sessions with obvious highlights on anything that needs some focus. I've been wondering though, are there other terminal emulators out there worth looking at? I chose gnome-terminal because it was there and seemed to work. There have been occasions where it has frozen up on me. The background options are adequate, but I wish there were more things to tweak. Basically, I love having lots of things to twiddle, switch, mash, and mix. So the question to the group is, what cool and amazing terminal emulators and terminal tricks do you use? There are quite a few to choose from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terminal_emulators http://freshmeat.net/tags/terminal-emulatorsx-terminals /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
