i've ignored xterm for years because it doesn't do tabs

and resizing for readable fonts on high-resolution displays is a PITA.
If you still have a numeric keypad, Alt+Shift+KP_Plus (IIRC). Doesn't work if you manually set a size, e.g. xterm -fa Monospace # works xterm -fa Monospace-8 # does not work xterm -fa Monospace:pixelsize=6 # does not work For urxvt, long ago I had these: ! Bind C-0, C-+ and C-= to activate medium, big, & small font size respectively. URxvt.font: xft:Monospace-7 URxvt.keysym.C-minus: command:\033]710;xft:Monospace-7\007 URxvt.keysym.C-0: command:\033]710;xft:Monospace\007 URxvt.keysym.C-equal: command:\033]710;xft:Monospace-19\007
