The latest Debian/Unstable has a newer buggier version of Konsole and 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 and have a slider at the side for scrolling back (xterm allows the mouse wheel but doesn't have a slider).
'course it does. And like all good things, it's (and the word separator character class) configured through X resources. Settings below are what in my humble opinion (hah!) should be default. Certainly make life more sane.

This resource specifies whether or not to ignore the 'alternate screen' ! of applications such as vi. When it is on, these applications will restore ! the contents of the screen when they are exited to what they were before ! they were started. When it is off, the contents of vi will remain on the ! screen after the program is quit (seriously, who do I shoot to make sure ! that this ridiculous concept never appears again?) XTerm.VT100.titeInhibit: true !and then allow an extra screenfull of scroll when screen "alternated" XTerm.VT100.tiXtraScroll: true
It would also allow ^+ and ^- to be used for changing font size (as all web browsers seem to do).
'fraid it can't do that. You'll have to put up with ctrl-shift++/- instead (at least, that seems to be how I've bound them). Oh look at that, my keyboard setup has broken since I upgraded to wheezy. Both keybindings appear as "go-smaller", but my xmodmap is quite hacked up, so no one should be surprised.

What's a good desktop replacement for KDE?
FVWM. /troll only half serious
I want something that looks like OS/2 2.0+,
I wouldn't be surprised if it's configurable for that.
is reasonably fast (not the slow login of modern KDE), and which has widgets for times in multiple time zones and clipboard management.
