A terminal emulator which allows tabs.

I could just use Screen, but mrxvt is so much easier to use. =)

• aka materm

• See also: rxvt-unicode (rxvt), which is also definitely light.

• I first saw this on weeXpc for my Zaurus SL-C1000.

usage ∞

I summon it up like this:

mrxvt -cr 2 +sb -ht -fn 9x15 -bg black -fg gray -sl 10000 -geometry 80x24+0+0 -font vga +vbf

• -cr 2 – green cursor
• Apparently + actually REMOVES that item. Strange.
• +sb – remove the scrollbar
• -ht – remove the tab bar. Strange that this one is -ht and not +ht like the others would suggest.

• +vbf – remove bolding, which looks hideous anyways.

I don’t know what the relation to this materm is: http://www.nongnu.org/materm/materm.html

Set the mrxvt tab title to the name of the current command ∞

(Source not noted)

bash ∞

(Bash)

See Set the mrxvt tab title to the name of the current command, for bash

zsh ∞

(Zsh)

# Change the window title of X terminals 
if [[ $TERM =~ "xterm|rxvt" ]]; then
  # There are lots of other info to add. See 'prompt expansion' in
  # man zshmisc
  precmd()  { print -Pn "\e]0;%~\a"} ;
  preexec() { print -Pn "\e]0;$1\a"} ;
fi

NOTE: The above will only work starting from mrxvt-0.5.1 and up. On previous versions replace ]0 with ]2, ]61, or ]62.

If you also want the window title to reflect the current command, then in addition to one (or more) of the above, add the following line to your ~/.mrxvtrc:

Mrxvt.syncTabTitle:  True

tcsh ∞

# Change the window title of X terminals 
set backslash_quote
if( $TERM =~ {xterm,rxvt}* ) then
  alias jobcmd echo -n '"\e]0;"\!#:q  "($cwd)\a"' \> /dev/stderr
  alias cwdcmd echo -n '"\e]0;"\!#:q  "($cwd)\a"' \> /dev/stderr
endif
unset backslash_quote
