xterm(1) on #Linux or #BSD doesn’t support easy font resize and CUA copy-paste? uhh.

@izder456 Alright, that's interesting.

I probably can't switch back from urxvt without the ability to set a background image. My eyes need all the help they can get.

Setting the font I wanted wasn't bad:

XTerm*faceName: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono
XTerm*faceSize: 12

I did notice something - I don't want to hit shift to copy and paste. The way I accomodate this in urxvt is to just hold shift when I want to kill a process with control-c. Sadly this doesn't follow through in xterm. Seeing this, I thought maybe Ctrl Shift <Key> C: send-signal(terminate) would do it but it seems not to.

So close!!!

PS: Trying some markdown here. Used to work great when I was on Friendica, but I've had no luck so far on Mastodon. Apologies if it just looks random.

PPS: Yeah, didn't work, so zapping it.
