RXVT

This week's tool: RXVT

RXvt is an X-Windows alternative to XTerm. However, that's not where or why I use it. RXvt is my prefereed shell window on Windows systems. I get it from the Cygwin Unix compatability distribution. (It's not part of the default install set.)

(Incidentally, I've come to the point where I always do a full installation of Cygwin. To quote Rick B: "Hey man, disk space is free".)

Useful features:

  • mouse only highlight-is-copy a la X-Windows
  • Shift-click to paste
  • completely resizable in both width and height
  • Reads your ~/.Xdefaults for customizations (the appropriate section from mine is included at the bottom)
  • can copy/paste long lines

Drawbacks:

  • It's a Cygwin tool, so acts kinda cygwin like. However, you can use Windows command shell inside it and still see the features I listed above
  • Depends on the cygwin installation, which is large and awkward.
  • has some refresh oddities dealing with editing lines which wrap that I haven't figured out yet.

Here's the relevant lines from my ~/.Xdefaultsfile. (I like green on black, somewhat small font.)

     /* 
      * How about rxvt?
      *
