Terminal.app seems to have worked fine for the last 6 years or so for me :)

What is the single show-stopping bug in Terminal.app that should make me move over to xTerm?

For me it is that it will not clear the window when the DECCOLM escape sequence is received. I have plenty of applications that depends on that behavior. I could go on with more bugs as well, but it just sucks.

Actually forget, xterm is unusable, even basic copy-paste between OS X apps and xterm doesn't work.

It works just fine.

I'll hack out a keyboard mapping later for a slightly more modern terminal.

Good luck with your buggy "modern" terminal.

OK, xterm works pretty well after some investigation..

I've never before attempted to change the setting of an old-skool X program and it looks like an absolute nightmare. Could any of you gurus produce an .xtermrc with a beige background and black text and font size set to 14?

Actually xTerm has SOME of the mappings defined by default, does anyone have a decent .xtermrc file for all of them?

Been playing remapping some "slime slim, full size Apple" kbd but the results aren't great. Does anybody have a canonical list of VT220 escape codes, preferably in hex (I think my term's escape sequence is broken)..

Why don't you use xterm? The mappings are already correct. And as a bonus, you actually get a VT100 emulation with less bugs.


Where are the config files for xterm stored? I want it to look less 1982 and have a font that doesn't require a microscope to read.
