Lol. there's =E2=80=9Cshell=E2=80=9D, and there's =E2=80=9Cterm=E2=80=9D. (and t= here's =E2=80=9Ceshell=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9Cterminal-emulator=E2=80=9D) each one is created to be optimal for some purposes. Sure, you can add your personal customization on top of any to give your =E2=80=9Chappy middle=E2=80=9D. Though, unless you have a specific cus= tomization question... there's no such as happy middle in the already 4 variants. my personal q is what's the diff between term and terminal-emulator... never spend time on it. I'm very happy with just =E2=80=9Cshell=E2=80=9D. F= or any term need, i switch to a =E2=80=9Creal=E2=80=9D term emulator. Xah =E2=88=91 http://xahlee.org/ =E2=98=84
