Hi,

I spend not a second to understand how to configure ROXTerm. I already
could use it with default settings and customizing is self-explaining.

So you run tmux with xterm?

Why doesn't Ctrl++, Ctrl+- and Ctrl+0 not work?
Why does the mouse wheel not work? Where is the scroll bar?
If resizing the window, why could it happen, that the cursor is above
the prompt?
How do I launch tmux with xterm with different profiles?
How do I get a right click menu?
How do I copy and paste?
How do I turn on and of the bell?
How do I get rid of this status bar and this vim like behaviour, that
suddenly a ":" appears and wants me to do something?

I want a replacement for ROXTerm, providing GUI comfort and command
line options as close as possible to ROXTerm.

Thank you for sending me off-list the configs, but I don't understand
how to edit the config?

If I push Ctrl+Alt+T my openbox session launches ROXTerm, if I push
Ctrl+Alt+T again it opens a ROXTerm Tab. What command do I need to
assign to Ctrl+Alt+T that happens the same when replacing ROXTerm by
tmux/xterm. The tmux/xterm helps/man pages are already a PITA.

I guess minimal requirement to fit to my need is that a VTE based
alike approach. However, even the vte based xfce4-terminal and
gnome-terminal are still far away from ROXTerm.

Ralf
