You know that urxvt has that, too? A lot of different menus (try control-mouse3 ore control-mouse2. You can even rot13 your selection! That's what I call a geek's delight...) And url-selection and automatic forwarding to browsers is just as easy. In your ~/.Xdefaults, write: ! Mark and launch URLs directly URxvt.urlLauncher: firefox URxvt.perl-ext: matcher And there you go! > So, I lately started using urxvt because of it's client-server > model.

So you can't reduce its memory usage by just killing them all off (you will, however definetely free the space wired to the shells) - but when you create another terminal instance that memory's going to be re-used, or so I heard. That may be complete BS, though. Aleks
