I've seen this question, and this one, and neither one is addressing my question. I have already used sudo update-alternatives to set Xterm as my default terminal. I much prefer Xterm as a terminal application, as it loads faster than gnome-terminal.
How can I get the right-click action "Open in Terminal", located in the Files application, to use Xterm? Changing the above defaults did not change this behavior, though I would have thought it should.
Thanks for your time!
I am bit confused as in terminal window I typed xterm in Ubuntu it simply opened new terminal window xterm but was doing the same work as the default.
And its also mentioned this terminal is for the X Window.
But when I am typing window commands its not working. What I am missing. Please guide.
it sounds like a stupid question, but I hope it isnt.
I want to create a simple xterm with a fixed title. I tried:
xterm -title whatever (that is what xterm --help suggests)
xterm -T whatever (according to man pages, this is the same as --title)
but well, my xterm always comes up showing username@hostname:~ in the title. I guess that this title comes from some environment variable; but I would prefer if I do not have to make a permanent change to my .bashrc or .profile just to be able to create one xterm with a fixed title?!
This is xubuntu 14.04
XTerm is great because I can view images inside it in w3m or ranger. However, as a terminal it does not support tabs or splitting. Is there an alternative that works like XTerm but supports splitting and tabs?
I want to copy some text from a webpage and paste it into a file opened with xterm editor. How can I paste my text into the xterm edited file?
