www.cosmosui.org

A large bundle of AddOns.

Had some great parts, but the overall project philosophies weren’t compatible with mine and I replaced their AddOns whenever possible. BUT I wouldn’t do that at the expense of a great addon so it stayed in my toolbox for a while.

When I learned that aterm does not support unicode, I went looking for its replacement. It suggested rxvt-unicode, so here I am. See Unicode VGA font for the font I ended up using.

  • aka urxvt
  • It is not tabbed, use one of the /tag/terminal-multiplexers (I currently use this one).

    • Okay, technically it’s tabbed with the “tabbed” perl extension:
