Most of them don't need to be set up to use them and most use the xterm 256-color escape codes to set color, but for example rxvt originally supported 88 colors, which included and RGB space of 4*4*4 (where 256 color ones have 6*6*6), so an extra parameter or setting might be needed.Īlso, linux console don't support 256 colors, but if you're running a framebuffer then you could try fbterm - it's like X Windows terminal emulators, but for linux console framebuffer, and it supports 256 colors. And the single row offset.Here's a partial list of terminals that do support 256 colors Just building dvtm without mouse support and getting used to the No perfect solution, but the only livable solution right now seems to be I only really post this here, because I've run through the motions withĭvtm, and I do use the mouse on the command line often enough.

Given the choice between screen, tmux, and dvtm, I like dvtm the best. Pass mouse.' I don't have much to say on the matter, except that this is I've gotten quite a few hits from people searching for things like 'dvtm I haven’t (and won’t, as I rely on job control for multitasking for the past… ten years or so) tested this, so YMMV, but… it’s an update!
