About

When you're connected to multiple servers, the unique background colors and window titles shown in profiles help you easily identify the correct terminal window. Use the built-in profiles in Terminal, or create your own custom profiles. Add markup and bookmarks as you work, then use them to quickly navigate through the vast output in the terminal window. Use the inspector to view and manage active processes, and change window titles and background colors. Use profiles to customize the colors, font, cursor style, background, and other elements of Terminal windows. A profile is a collection of style and behavior settings for a terminal window. Terminal comes with a set of predefined profiles, but it also allows you to create your own custom profiles. Change settings for terminal type (terminfo), input, prompt behavior, and international encodings. Change settings for function keys, the option key, and the alternate display.

About

xterm is a terminal emulator for the X Window System, first released to emulate DEC VT102 and Tektronix 4014 hardware and provide a windowed interface for applications that cannot access X directly. Each xterm window runs as a separate process, locally or remotely, while sharing keyboard and mouse input with only the focused window receiving events. It implements ANSI/ISO color support via the “new” color model for background erase and recognizes most VT220 control sequences, along with select features from VT320, VT420, and VT520 devices. Over its history, xterm’s terminal description evolved from VT102 (pre-1996) to VT220 (1996–2012) and, since 2012, to VT420, ensuring compatibility with modern applications. Xterm remains actively maintained and extensible through companion tools like luit for encoding support and the X Toolkit for resource configuration, making it a complete, standards-compliant emulator for Unix-based environments.
