Subject: Best terminal emulator for emacs?
Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2018 02:12:10 +0200	[thread overview]

Hi:

I'm using emacs with a -nw option. After some time I have tried gnome-terminal, termite, guake, tilda and it looks to be almost fine with xterm after some configuration. I am using this options in the .Xdefaults:

-------------------
*eightBitInput:   false
*eightBitOutput:  true

*termName: xterm-color
*metaSendsEscape:  true
*vt100.formatOtherKeys: 1

*ttyModes:  erase ^?

*VT100*translations: #override \
					 !Ctrl <Key>BackSpace: string(0x7f) \n\
					 !<Key>BackSpace: string(0x7f) \n\
					 !~Alt Ctrl <Key>I: string("\033[A") \n\
					 Ctrl Shift <Key>C: copy-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\
					 Ctrl Shift <Key>V: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD)
					 !	 Alt <Key>I: string("\033[1;5A") \n\
					 !	 Alt Ctrl <Key>I: string("\033[1;7A")

*backarrowKeyIsErase:      true

*buffered:         true
--------------------

With this I can even send C-? and C-: for example. But I still can't send C-Backspace or C-S-Backspace. Does anyone can give me a solution to this?? I am very tired to deal with this kind of issues for years. I can use any terminal emulator (available in linux) but not emacs in gui (it is a long story).

I accept any solution that includes modify the xterm config as needed, change the terminal itself for another one maybe more compatible, use the configuration of somebody else. It will be very useful if anyone tells me what's the better terminal emulator or configuration for using emacs, the more compatible (even if it needs some configuration).

Thanks in advance,
Ergus
