On Arch Linux, xterm sends ^H key when backspace is pressed. To make Alt instead send a ^[ (escape) key (as in gnome-terminal and konsole), set The default Alt key behavior in xterm is a modifier to send eight bit input characters e.g. Make 'Alt' key behave as on other terminal emulators This is often necessary because XTerm does not support all UTF-8 locales, including eo.UTF-8. If you do not use UTF-8, you may need to force xterm to more strictly follow your locale by setting You can check the result within xterm using either of these commands:Įnsure that your locale is set up for UTF-8. Two usable terminfo names are xterm and xterm-256color.

The terminal itself should report the correct TERM to the system so that the proper terminfo file will be used. Do not set the TERM variable from your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile or similar file. See xterm(1)for a complete list.Īllow xterm to report the TERM variable correctly. There are several options you can set in your X resources files that may make this terminal emulator much nicer to use. 5.3.1 Use color in place of bold and italics.2.1.3 Make 'Alt' key behave as on other terminal emulators.
