Usability

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:
  \urxvt -pe tabbed

HOWTO, Usability, wmctrl

Detect renamed files and handle by renaming instead of delete/re-send.

rsync 3.0.0 was supposed to have renamed file detection, but it was silently dropped.
