No, never seen it. Though I have to admit to not having used MGT much yet. At work I've been using konsole mostly since we have KDE setups there.

A challange for you other MGT:ers. I can't copy text from MGT. I can paste into it though. Anybody knows if I can get copy-functionality somehow?

osxpez,

You need to make your challenge again for "OroborOSX and M-G-T" users, because you use oroborOSX, and although I used it in the past, I don't remember much about it.

I use blackbox window manager in -rootless and to copy from multi-gnome-terminal in X and pasting in Aqua "works well" for me.

I just simply select the text with the mouse in X11, then use Cmd-V in Aqua to paste it.

So, if you're running XDarwin and blackbox in rootless mode (no OroborosX):

just selecting text in an x client (certainly in an xterm or eterm or m-g-t) puts the text in the Cut buffer. Then you can paste the text into another X client by using command-click, and you can paste the text into an aqua window by using command-v (or the paste command in the aqua edit menu).

This also works if you cut in full screen mode, then switch to the aqua desktop, and then paste into BBEdit or similar.

And it works the other way around: you can cut in aqua, switch to XDarwin, and paste in an x client (using command-click).

Maybe you install the program "autocutsel" with Fink; it automatically synchronizes the two main cut buffers. To run it, add the following line to your .xinitrc:

autocutsel &

Make sure it's before the line that exec's the window manager and never returns! Don't just add it at the end, it won't be executed.

BTW, I tried "konsole" and it's really fast. The version installed seems more advance than m-g-t. I was enjoying just using eterm and xterm and now got so many things to learn.

Cheers...

But i get curious when you say you use both. Nosy as I am (yes, me too) I gotta ask why and for which tasks you choose one or the other?

I uploaded a couple of pictures of gvim and xemacs for your viewing pleasure here:

Prefer Enlightenment

I like a much lighter environment otherwise I get grumpy. I'm using gnome with a modified Aqua-gtk theme and enlightenment with a theme simular to the OroborOSX one. Anyway heres an enlightenment.jpg screenshot with my favorite Pysol a python tcltk application. I downloaded it a long time ago and I didn't have to do anything other than untar it!

I fink therefore I can.

WiilyT,

I posted the screenshots to show osxpez my usage of Xemacs and vim61. Although I used in the shots Blackbox, the window manager was irrelevant for my purpose.

Anyhow, nice shot of enlightenment. I also have it installed.

But for rootless-mode I much prefer Blackbox. Small, simple and doesn't clutter the desktop.

Cheers...
