Ask HN: What terminal emulator do you use ?

konsole. It's so much better than the gnome-terminal (monitor for silence/activity rules!).

Actually, in recent years, it seems like gnome has gotten harder and harder to use for an expert in all aspects...I occasionally have to work on a gnome machine and it's pure hell trying to figure out how to get simple stuff to work.

Of course, perhaps this is their goal in any case: target n00bs and grandmas to increase marketshare. If so, I'm perfectly fine with that =)

In Konsole you can split the window a là Emacs or Vim buffers, which is pretty handy always. The special keys works, not like F1 in gnome-terminal which opens the help.

How many times do you switch between terminals because you need to copy something or whatever? That's over with Konsole

konsole is great for long term work, and yakuake is better for some one time command!

for a 1 time command that I don't need to look at again I'd just use alt+f2 kde's 'run prompt' is pretty good. of course it doesn't actually provide the 'shell environment'.
