Please recommend me an X terminal app for my needs.
by Luk from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6DBS5)
As in the subject I'm looking for an X terminal app that has the following :
- OSC52 support for system clipboard integration that requires no extra keystrokes/clicks, it "just works"
- supports Unicode well (no glyphs cut in half etc)
- supports 256 colors, or more if possible
- is lightweight.
The key requirements are OSC52 and Unicode. I need OSC52 because it is the only mechanism I know of that let's you copy from a text mode program running in tmux easily into system clipboard (with no extra tmux keystrokes that run an additional executable aka xclip).
I need Unicode because I'm using symbols (nerd fonts) in text mode I'd prefer to display nicely, not get cut in half at random.
The only terminal I know of that somewhat matches these is xterm. The problem with xterm is that it promises Unicode support, but it does cut glyphs in half depending on the column they land on.
All terminals based on gnome vte (terminator etc) do not support OSC52.
Konsole also doesn't support it.
So, is there a modern terminal like that?
