What: Terminator
Why: window splitting, reasonable customization
>>
Urxvt
>>
RXVT-Unicode

>window splitting

It's called tmux and dvtm.

> reasonable customization

URXVT has total customization.

>>57807074
>tmux
Do you really enjoy Ctrl+b that much? Terminator has better default hotkeys

Bah.
BTW, show me your config.h.
>>
terminix is better OP

I use tmux though, which is the best way to multiplex.

>>57807166
change the defaults or use byobu
>>
>>57807166
This is probably the first thing that every tmux user remaps to [ctrl]+[a] to be closer to screen.
Last time I was angry about the tmux developers was when they changed the default behavior when opening a new pane. Instead of opening the new pane in the CWD of the pane it was opened from it was opened in the home directory.
Whoe does that? Thats now the second thing every user probably changes in the config file.

>>57807169
My guy
st + tmux is literally god tier

>50MB ram per instance
enjoy your bloat
>>
>>57807561
In a world...where people have a minimum of 8 GB of ram, there is, one autist, that considers 50MB, a lot. Where does his story begin, and where will it end?
>>
>>57807561
In all seriousness though, look at this shortcut:
Ctrl+Shift+E+O+O
There, I have 4 terminals, left for coding, right everything else. You cannot do that in your terminal. As for urxvt, ain't nobody got time for making it pleasurable for the eyes. It looks horrid.

>>57807302
also, terminix is written in D

Terminal.app

It just works. It's just simple. No need for useless shit. Also there's tmux but i prefer to have 2 windows around
>>
>>57807789
Yeah but if you use proprietary software you're a cuck.
>>
>>57807774
It must suck to be poor.
>>
>>57807706
mod+enter x4
There, I have 4 more terminals and urxvtd is still only using ~40MB for the 20 or so terminals I have open across the 2x9 tags
>>
But muh ligatures
>>
xterm
>>
>>57807675
Because it is simple program and you need 8gb ram for compiling and virtual machines so stop shitposting you arch kid.
>>
>>57808204
I hope you realize that the reason most of the terminals mentioned in this thread exist, is because of how bloated xterm has become.
Here’s an excerpt from the README:

Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here
>>
>>57808329
xterm works perfectly
st sucks
urxvt is like zsh, it's for hispters

Why'd ya'll saying that terminix is bloated? Compared to terminator it's tiny af.
>>
I find rxvt-unicode + tmux to handle my needs, and combines well with ssh. I'll have tmux sessions that live for hundreds of days (essentially whatever the server uptime is)

Guake. Too sexy with GNOME or properly configured i3/fluxbox

he doesnt have a tiling wm haha what a cuck

been using it for a while but recently found out it doesn't support the w3m image thing, do you know fix? or share a patch?

pls help I don't know how to go about fixing it
>>
>>57808710
actually, I do. I use I3. But I hate the fact that $mod+Enter doesn't remember the current working directory. So I have to start from $Home again. Fuck that.
>>
>>57808929
You can spawn a terminal by using the current terminal. And it will start in the same dir. i3 spawns terminal in its current directory.
>>
>>57808946
Well, somehow I find pressing Ctrl+Shift+E in terminator way easier than writing "urxvt &"

I wanna know too!

Why do you hate yourself so much, anon?
>>
Whatever terminal my ide has + tmux
Why do people care so much about the terminal emulator?
Tmux is god tier and works on any termimal and even on non graphical shells
I see no reason to use terminator or some other shit. As long as I can set the colors and fonts I want and it doesn't crash it's good to go

I swear /g/ always argues about inane subjects
>>
>>57807037
gnome/xfce terminal
just works and does not need hours of learning just to make it look tolerable.
>>
>>57807675
>50mb is acceptable for a text rendering
Kill yourself
>>
doesn't anyone use termite? I'm thinking of moving from urxvt to it since urxvt is bloated
>>
>>57810457
>>57810486

It's called Cathode
>>
>>57811125
it's VTE based, anything VTE based is going to be heavy compared to rxvt-unicode, or even xterm.
>>
What: cancer

Why:
- doesn't use a graphical toolkit
- cairo/pango based rendering
- works on X11 and macOS, (Windows support will come)
- better URL hinting support than termite
- keyboard centric with vi-like key bindings
- fast
- I wrote it

>>57810457
>>57810486

does anyone know of a terminal emulator that is light weight and can do transparency

What: terminology
Why: image support
