Changes

Filed under: computer -- 14:04

So, there.
I fully switched to tmux now. Works like a charm, btw.

Also, I've finally switched my default character encoding setup from legacy
iso-8859 to UTF-8. I hope I didn't miss too many places, while doing that. :)
Tell me, if mails from me suddenly give you broken umlaut characters. :-)

The UTF-8 switch also required me to change my default x11 terminal emulator.
Previously, I've been a long-time aterm user; but that one doesn't do
multibyte encodings... Now my terminal is this:

% xterm -version
XTerm(235)

That terminal is actually pretty damn good. I'm using this general setup, to
make it work more to my liking:

XTerm*font: -*-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
XTerm*boldFont: -*-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
XTerm*boldMode: false
XTerm*alwaysBoldMode: false
XTerm*background: black
XTerm*foreground: grey80
XTerm*altIsNotMeta: false
XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
XTerm*on2Clicks: word
XTerm*on3Clicks: regex [^ \n<>]+
XTerm*on4Clicks: line
XTerm*on5Clicks: none

I especially like the onNClicks resources; two clicks? Select a word. Three
clicks? Select something that looks remotely like an URI. Four clicks? Select
the whole line. FIVE clicks? Well, I don't have use for that one, yet. :-)
