> How can I get the old Crux back? Please. Don't have a specific answer to that. I have a similar need/usage of xterms - and a lot of xterms - quickly seeing more width is great, I agree. But I do have some suggestions which may enhance your terminal experience (but hopefully not ending terminal experience, or never not no double negatives :) - Algorithmic xterm layout - I posted this once before on debian-user. - GNU Screen, with a theme which gives nice "tabs", I use CTRL-PgUp and CTRL-PgDn to cycle. - XFCE has window manager keyboard shortcuts, and I have set two shortcuts to make use of the "Window Logo" key: * Logo-F11 - fully un/maximise current window (no window decorations) * Shift-Logo-F11 - un/maximise (with window decorations) Either of these keyboard shortcuts make it easy to quickly maximise and unmaximise a particular xterm. This is different to (temporarily) overlapping another window, but is useful to me nonetheless. - Buy an ambidextrous Logitech Trackman Marble, and get comfortable using it with the left hand. This provides (I find) more accurate control than mouse, but less than a trackpoint/nipple or trackpad. So depends what you have. You see, I prefer window borders of just a few pixels, so don't have much to grab, but the trackball means this is sort of equivalent to thicker window borders for me.
