Anyone recommend an incredible, beats-them-all terminal emulator? I'm under LXDE and finding both LXTerminal and rxvt-unicode too limited.-- Phil Hudson http://hudson-it.no-ip.biz @UWascalWabbit PGP/GnuPG ID: 0x887DCA63
I have used Guake and screen very well together for a couple of years now. To get to a terminal just hit F12 and one will drop down, over-laying any current windows. Hit F12 again to get rid. Simples.
Guake can run multiple terminals too - I never need this many, since I'm running a screen in the first Guake terminal. So if you did not fancy using screen, you can just use Guake alone.
The other useful thing about this combination is that if you want to take your screen to a different tty then you can just detach and reattach the screen wherever you like. Recently I logged off from a graphical environment - fancied using LXDE rather than enlightenment for a bit and was able to persist with the screen i was currently using.
I think screen also supports screen splitting and other funky stuff - but i never use that...
Hope that's useful. Cheers roly :-) -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
