Which terminal emulator is least bloated and has most features? Which one are you using?
I am on urxvt right now.

>least bloated and has most features
what?
just use whichever the fuck you want.
they are there for you the check out on your own.
>>52226976
Features like unicode, scroll-back and copy to X buffer by mouse selection.
>>52226923
>terminal emulator
>bloated
It's like time stopped back in 1993.
>>52226923
terminator
urxvt
sakura
urxvt is pretty much the winner here. It's tiny as fuck but has an incredible breadth of features.
>>52227039
>>52227075
Which GTK theme is that?
>>52227085
not sure if bait
it's OS X / Darwin BSD, not Linux
>>52226923
st is very not bloated
lxterminal
>winrar
>>52226923
Currently using terminology
just werks
easy to configure
Depends on elementary which makes it pretty bloated
>>52226923
since I'm a wm user, there is no need for me to use terminator. urxvt was great and very customizable until it failed on me doing basic copy/pasting. now i'm using termite and it does the job. idk if you can run it on one of the *buntus though.
>>52226923
Man, I really like that 80s green on black display, but I can't use it because dumbass normalfags would think I'm trying to be a hax0r or referencing the matrix or something gay like that.
>>52226923
terminator but right now am using xrvt for customization without limits
>>52229067
>>52226923
is that retro theme already in urxvt? I want to try it out.
>>52227347
This st is the only answer.
>>52227025
urxvt probably
>>52227347
>>52231992
it literally has no features, not even scrollback.
I could find it useful on a machine with very limited resources.
But on a regular desktop urxvtc (and a daemon running in the background) performs similarly if not better and has a SHITLOAD more features.

>>52232106
too soon

>scrollback
tmux?
st has around 3kloc.
Why haven't your written your own terminal emulator yet?
>>52232177
why bother with lighweight terminal emulator if you're going to need another piece of software to fill the feature void in the first place?
We all use urxvt please sage
urxvt
or termite when urxvt fucks something up (like doesn't properly recognize f-keys)
>>52227025
st, has about ~4k lines of code, and you can add all of those features with patches
>>52226923
probably the suckless one, st or something
cool-retro-term comes in at a close second
urxvt third
suckless term because true color support :3
I just tried using st for a few minutes. Can't apply patches. Can someone explain it to me?
I downloaded the 0.6 version, downloaded the 0.6 argb patch, rangit apply st-0.6-argbbg.diff, but when I run make it just throws a bunch of compiler errors.
Am I supposed to fix all this? Or am I missing something?
>>52227075
Info on what Darwin is?
>>52233546
the kernel of Apple's OS X
>>52232617
nah dude, you apply patches in the same directory as the source file with:patch < some-patch.diff
>>52233635
Nope, those are git patches. I tried another patch and it worked, but the argbbg patch just doesn't want to work any way.
>>52233684
Check the st version you downloaded, and the version in the patch, maybe? I've never gone through that process though, I usually git clone st in some dir, go to suckless' website, download the patches, and apply them in the way I described...
>>52233715
I checked everything, tried latest git version, tried 0.6 version, tried patch andgit apply. This is what I get: http://pastebin.com/fqG7NDs3
I like st, but it fails on double width glyphs last I checked. I run into those at least a few times a month, so it's annoying.
>>52233836
It's possible that patch might have deleted a couple of varible declarations, given those errors lol.
Try this sourcecode

>>52233947
btw, this one's already patched (and riced for that matter)
>>52233947
I dunno, argbbg still doesn't work. I guess I'll stick with my already riced urxvt.
Thanks for the pre-riced st, though. Might serve as a good example for when I eventually switch to it and rice it myself.
>>52226923
I looked at st, which shits on other terms for being "bloated" yet requires external patches to add missing features, and this is presented as a feature in of itself.
And these features are basic things, like scrollback or compatibility with stdin from an external program
Is this what autism looks like?
