| Post subject: | xterm is too big ::{SOLVED}:: |
Okay I have searched but I must be all out of google foo. I just upgraded to an hd screen (yay!) now the xterm window is too big. More spacifically the font is like 48 px. I can get about 24 lines on the window. This makes it nice an easy to read but since I don't have a scroll wheel I can't read anything more than 23 rows high. Also is there a way to have copy and paste in xterm? Or alternatively what terminal program do you use and how do I install it? Thanks MattBatt |

Why not just change the font size? If you're starting the xterm using Alt-x, then the command to edit is here: /etc/X11/fluxbox/keys In that file you'll find a line that looks something like this: Code: Mod1 x :ExecCommand xterm -fn '*18*'
Change the 18 or whatever number you find there to something smaller. You might also need to edit: /home/mythtv/.fluxbox/keys in the same way. |

HA! that's almost the same keyboard that I have (Chicony kb-9820) I'm used to using putty on my windows machine and right click just pastes into the terminal. OK so the file on my system is /usr/share/fluxbox/keys In that file the line is Code: Mod1 x :ExecComand tvterm.sh That's curious. So for the first time ever since I've been using linux (about 6 years) i typed xterm into an xterm window!!!!!! Redundancy Department of Redundancy What I got was an xterm window with smaller fonts. But if you open the script( /usr/LH/bin/tvterm.sh) you find a bunch of "if then" arguments like Code: if [ $width -ge 1920 ] ; then
fontsize=24 so I can just do a little sudo nano action and fix the first problem. Thanks for pointing me in the right Direction. |

In an xterm, just select the text to copy. Mouse middle button or Shift-Ins to paste. Shift-PgUp/PgDn to scroll up/down. As for changing the default settings, you can put them in a ~/.Xresources (should be read when the xserver starts) or ~/.Xdefaults (read when you start the application, so takes affect immediately). For example, I have the following .Xresources: Code: XTerm*SaveLines: 30000 man xterm to see all the settings. Note that if a wrapper script is used to call xterm, it may override these settings (i.e. If you use this, you probably want to call xterm directly)
XTerm*ScrollBar: true XTerm*charClass: 33:48,35:48,37:48,43:48,45-47:48,64:48,95:48,126:48 XTerm*VT100*font: 7x13 XTerm*toolBar: false #XTerm*VT100*boldFont: 10x20bold #XTerm*VT100*boldFont: 7x13bold XTerm*scrollKey: true XTerm*scrollTtyOutput: false XTerm*rightScrollBar: true |
