Terminals

From awesome

There are various terminals available in most Linux distributions. This outlines some of the 'nicer' ones that have features you may be looking for to replace your Desktop terminal

• urxvt - nice terminal emulator that supports scripting (Perl), unicode, tabs, transparency and clickable URLs.
• mrxvt - offers tabs and transparency.
• ROXTerm - terminal emulator intended to provide similar features to gnome-terminal, based on the same VTE library, but with a smaller footprint and quicker start-up time.
• sakura - based on VTE, light and fast; unicode, tabs (but can be used like non-tabbed terminal), fake-transparency.
• Lilyterm - a light and easy to use libvte based X Terminal Emulator.
• aterm - an rxvt derivative with fast pseudo-transparency and text "fading".
• TermIt - lightweight terminal emulator with embedded Lua
• Terminator - similar to ROXTerm but with advanced features not yet found elsewhere; logging, drag&drop, find, horiz+vert scrolling...
• evilvte - very small and fast tab-supporting terminal application based on the VTE terminal library.
