    alternative for xterm

    Hi All,

    I'm using Lucid 10.04 and usually ssh to many unix server. I have created aliases with server name, that executes xterm command as below.

    I'm getting frustrated by inability to copy and paste using keyboard shortcuts, always have to use middle button. Is there any alternative out there?

    Appreciate any help or pointers

    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't work, does it require any setting or keybinding?

    No, it doesn't.
    Funny, it works for me.

    I'll say go for aterm, a very nice terminal emulator with transparency support as well.

    In linux the copy paste keyboard terminal shortcuts are not ctrl+c, ctrl+v but ctrl+shif+c, ctrl+shift+v if you don't like the middle mouse button

    Debian rulz but Ubuntu it's alright either

    +1 to this.

    You are not going to find a terminal emulator that would use ctrl-c & ctrl-v for copy/paste, as those keyboard shortcuts already have a completely different purpose in the shell.
