the xterm is really not very useful.
1) macintosh copy & paste doesnt work (standard terminal is much better
in this respect) so if you are used to use cmd-c / cmd-v be happy that
you can now retype everything manualy now :-(.
there's a workaroung for that:
1) open /Applications/X11.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/main.nib
in interface builder.
2) select the main menu instance and from there the edit menu. in the
inspector remove the key equivalent 'v' for 'paste' so that there is no
more key assigned to 'paste'
3) save the .nib
4) put something like the following in you .Xdefaults:
*VT100.translations: #override\
Meta <KeyPress> V: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0)
\n\
now copy/paste works as expected in xterm.
2) trying to set the keyboard (which is US by default, even macOS X is
set to swiss german) results in a bus error:
i use:
/Applications/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 -keymap
/System/Library/Keyboards/Schweizer.keymapping
and have:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 66 = Mode_switch'
in my .xinitrc
hope that helps. actually, there's a lot more options to make xterm
behave more like terminal.app (like scrolling page up/down with the
arrowkeys, moving the scrollbar handle with button1 and not button2
etc. which i posted these to the list yesterday.
