- paddy_m 8y agoI'm a fan of uxrvt too. I ported it to javascript [1] years ago. Compared to all the other popular terminal emulators, especially xterm, it was much easier to understand. [1] https://github.com/paddymul/rxvt-js https://github.com/paddymul/rxvt-js
- jolmg 8y agoI love it, too. It's keyboard-select extension has made me feel so much more efficient in working that I often feel handicapped when working in another person's terminal. I mean, it's very often that one wants to copy part of the output of the previous command, and it sucks to have to reach for the mouse when the part is right there! just 1 or 2 lines above the text cursor. keyboard-select allows me to grab it in around 5 quick keypresses. It's also been tremendously useful to quickly determine if the big output of the previous command contains some piece of text without having to re-run it with grep repeatedly while adjusting the search. That extension definitely has its warts like what happens when you go to the top of the buffer and select everything to the bottom (gVG). It causes the last screenful of text remain in a highlighted state as if it was originally like that. The ability to work on urxvt extensions is actually making me consider taking up perl.
