The situation is that I absolutely hate the default user interface. Scroll bars that play hide & seek, that when they are visible are tiny wire-like things, clicking above/below the scrollbar takes you .. somewhere & what I want is one page up or down, etc. I found https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95 and that fixed most of the UI problems, but the terminal right-click to paste requiring a left click to actually paste was a deal-breaker. So I was still using windows/cygwin to ssh to my debian machine to do most everything there. In short, I found the UI basically unusable. >> horrible scrollbars & no right-click to paste in the terminal > > About the scrollbars I don't know, but, for instance, lxterminal has > right-click to copy from and past in the terminal (I use it all the time), > and I guess it's pretty light in dependencies: > > $ apt-cache depends lxterminal > lxterminal > Depende: libc6 > Depende: libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 > Depende: libglib2.0-0 > Depende: libgtk-3-0 > Depende: libpango-1.0-0 > Depende: libvte-2.91-0 > Depende: libx11-6 > > You can use it anywhere (I use it over mere window managers, > IceWM, for instance, or fluxbox, openbox, etc. > >> xfce4-terminal v0.9.1 finally has right-click = paste >> >> https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/-/commit/970905924ad685827cee2b2406a3b8a6b6990187 >> so what are the downsides, if any, to replacing >> /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal with the one I build from the >> 0.9.1 source tarball? >> >> If it makes a difference >> $ cat /etc/debian_version >> 11.2 > > Maybe lxterminal would be a simpler solution for you. :) After figuring out "apt search XXX" was the way to find my missing dependencies, building a new xfce4-terminal was easy :) And right-click works the way I want it to now.
