xterm

The standard X11 terminal emulator. Extremely lightweight and robust, with full VT220/VT340 and Tektronix 4014 emulation.

Ubuntu 24.04 ships xterm 390. This build provides patch #407 with modern usability improvements compiled in by default:

Ctrl+Shift+C / Ctrl+Shift+V — copy and paste using the CLIPBOARD selection, matching the behaviour of modern terminals (GNOME Terminal, xfce4-terminal, Konsole, etc.). No Xresources configuration needed
Enable Monochrome — new VT Options menu toggle that strips all SGR colours, rendering pure white-on-black (or black-on-white with reverse video). Preserves bold, underline, inverse and other text attributes. Ideal for distraction-free reading or accessibility
Upstream patch #407 — includes all upstream fixes and improvements since the 390 release shipped by Ubuntu
Wide character and 256-colour support — built with --enable-wide-chars and --enable-256-color
Disableable — the clipboard bindings use a named translation group (clipboard-keys) that can be suppressed via *omitTranslation: clipboard-keys in Xresources
