Linux Terminals

For a long time I was looking for the right terminal for my purposes. I am a follower of the Gnome philosophy which I think does everything right with their DE. But this should be a matter of taste. So it made sense for me to use the gnome terminal with transparency. Guake was used as the dropdown terminal.

I have been working with the i3wm for a long time now and since switching to my new Lenovo T470P, I also wanted to take a little care of the beauty and functionality of my system. I started to deal with the terminals and came across a post, who dealt with one point, that has long been a thorn in my side. It is about the text selection in a terminal. If you work a lot with i3wm, you are looking for more and more solutions so that you don't have to use your mouse as much. The URXVT terminal offers the solution for this. As far as I know, it is the only terminal that allows you to select and copy text with the keyboard. A really great feature due to the expandability using Perl scripts. A great part. URXVT in combination with i3_quaketerm now replaces all regular and dropdown terminals in my system. In addition, i3_quaketerm is also very nice to look at
