Can't get it to compile using Darwin Ports, though others seem to be using it fine.

Transparency/translucency is fake and probably won't work at all in OS X, but I don't care about that anymore - I care more about things like deselect-on-output being fixed.

I just haven't had time to check this yet.

They also suggested mxterm, but that looks old, and I can't find the latest version online or in Darwin Ports. Keltor from freenode #irssi suggested I try this instead of xterm.

Context menu is broken, can't change font size (update: fixed don't specify XTerm*geometry but rather XTerm*VT100.geometry).Pasting with keyboard shortcut is tricky (update: try this).Copying text is a complex operation (update: appears fixed in newer versions of Xquartz).Deselect-on-output (update: fixed! via scrollTtyOutput in.With enough tweaking, it's actually pretty good. The de facto standard X11 terminal emulator, withstanding the test of time. Resized from 100x80 (preferred) to 80x80 when I attached to screen? (Did screen do that? Why? My only other terminal was attached at 100x80 as well.) Can the resize code be suppressed? (PuTTY has this option.) update: 'termcapinfo xterm in.Some wordwrap problems in the emulation (probably fixable).The most popular emulator, behind Terminal.app. No copy-on-select (update: SIMBL plugin here, or try TotalTerminal).

Can't change cutchars (see lame workaround).Overstrike as bold (update: fixed in Leopard!).Can do focus-follows-mouse in 10.3.9 but not 10.4.x? (update: seems to be working in 10.5.5 after following these instructions again) So, without further ado, the issues: Terminal.app I'm only going to list things that I know annoy _me_ (enough to write this page), and not a complete buglist or potential-annoyance-list. This page is intended as a primer for my problems with the current state of OS X terminal emulation I'll give it to anyone to read before they start suggesting solutions. (Don't get me wrong - some do have nice new features that I might like someday - but they aren't what I need right now.) I've been having a very difficult time finding a terminal emulator in OS X that is on par with Eterm in Gentoo Linux - what I was using last before switching.
