Hi,
thank you for your replies. Unfortunately I still didn't find a
replacement for roxterm.
I know byobu and this is absolutely not what I want, since it's not
just a terminal. Regarding
http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/terminator is just "multiple GNOME
terminals in one window" and GNOME terminal always tried to be, but
never reached, what roxterm is, resp. was. I anyway consider to take a
look at it, perhaps it provides additional differences to GNOME
terminal.
Depending to the install I don't care much about too much unwanted
dependencies
# apt -o APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages=1 --no-install-recommends install konsole
0 upgraded, 66 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
but for some installs I do and apart from this qt5 apps don't integrate
well into openbox, because qt5ct doesn't always do it's job.
However, I know konsole.
Close as possible command line compatibility [1] is required by scripts
envoking roxterm. It at least should be possible to write a wrapper
named roxterm, that converts or drops as less options as possible, so
that I don't need to rewrite too many scripts.
My request is more addressed to people who are used to roxterm features
and try to find a replacement, too. It's less addressed to people
with different needs, who anyway prefer other terminals over
roxterm ;). IOW the question isn't what terminal do you like, the
question really is, what terminal could replace roxterm as good as
possible.
Regards,
Ralf
