I'm looking for a new Xterm type program. An ideal Konsole replacement would allow configuration of the field split characters for double-click copy/paste
I don't know what that means. You want to tweak how it tells where a word ends when you click to select word/line/para ? So e.g. whether "frobozz.quux" is one word or two?
and have a slider at the side for scrolling back (xterm allows the mouse wheel but doesn't have a slider).
Is this what you want? -sb This option indicates that some number of lines that are scrolled off the top of the window should be saved and that a scrollbar should be displayed so that those lines can be viewed. This option may be turned on and off from the “VT Options” menu. xterm's scrollbar is the traditional style -- mouse1 to go up, mouse3 to go down, mouse2 (middle) to go to the point clicked. If you can deal with widget behaviour that predates NOTEPAD.EXE, I don't see a problem.
It would also allow ^+ and ^- to be used for changing font size (as all web browsers seem to do).
urxvt (rxvt-unicode) and xterm are consistently popular. I can definitely recommend the former. For urxvt, I used ! Bind C-0, C-+ and C-= to activate medium, big and small font size respectively. URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono-7 URxvt.keysym.C-minus: command:\033]710;xft:DejaVu Sans Mono-7\007 URxvt.keysym.C-0: command:\033]710;xft:DejaVu Sans Mono\007 URxvt.keysym.C-equal: command:\033]710;xft:DejaVu Sans Mono-19\007 That's not arbitrary sizes, but "big, normal, tiny" was good enough for my needs. (Nowadays, I use setupcon for the same effect.) xterm has it on shift + KP_Plus / KP_minus by default, IIRC, which can be painful on a laptop keyboard. Also if you specify a size, e.g. "xterm -fa Monospace-8" instead of "xterm -fa Monospace", it breaks the resizing.
