I would recommend using GNU Emacs' multi-term [1] in this case. Actually, I embed all my terminals in GNU Emacs, and group them by using tabbar [2]. Yet this requires learning to use (and customize) GNU Emacs; however… "no pain, no gain" (IMHO). In the end, GNU Emacs stays fullscreen and performs tiling itself if needed. > PS: I do care about CJK support, and a "find" feature would be nice > (like the one of terminator's, the java one), and being able to use a > customized colorscheme would be awesome! I have no idea about CJK support in multi-term although… For finding, it's as in any other buffer. At last, customizing GNU Emacs' appearance is not hard. N.
