Favourite terminal & multiplexor

[Primefalcon]

I'm just wondering what everyones favourite terminal is for general useage is and what your favourite multiplexor for terminals is

whether its the gnome terminal, the virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+(f1-f6)) or a specialist one such as terminator....

personaly I tend to like the standard gnome terminal using the screen command to multiplex since using ctrl+c then " brings up a list of custom named terminal windows you can easily see what terminal is for what, such as

when in *boxes or gnome, its urxvt with screen
otherwise i mostly use xmonad, and with a tiler doing the multiplexing, urxvt is enough :)

i run urxvtd + urxvtc though, not urxvt directly ...

I didn't even know what this question meant so I did "man screen" and now i'm reading about it.

urxvt and tiling with dwm works well for me. In Pekwm, I generally use xfce-terminal with tabs :). No real need to use screen or anything.

I've seen a lot of people do that, is there any particular reason? Keeps memory usage low I assume?


Edit: And what did you do to set it up?

It might take you a few years.

I use mrxvt and its tabs for multiplexing.

yea well it saves a few KB/MB :P so why not? since its easy to setup

i have
urxvtd -q -f -o & added to my ~/.xinitrc
or you can place it wherever you wish to start it just before the X-session starts. the 'o' option is there to kill the daemon when X is killed.

here (http://dpaste.com/12668/) is my .xinitrc as a reference

just the defaults of gnome-terminal in ubuntu and terminator in crunchbang.

im not scared of the terminal but unless im ssh-ing somewhere or opening up a file with nano i dont really have a need to use it. i do like terminator though. ill probably install it on my regular ubuntu box soon

I learned screen in a day. It's relatively simple.

I don't usually have a terminal running for anything, so whatever the default for the DE I'm using is.

Yeah I'm like totally lost now.

a few months ago, I tried almost all the terminal emulators because I couln't get my numpad work in vt102 mode. Then, I found that none of the terminal emulators support it 100% eventhough a lot of them state it in their feature list. The only one that actually worked was xterm. That's my choice.
