GNOME Terminal questions
Hi,
I've done a bit of searching for answers to my questions, but haven't
really found anything current or relevant to my issue. I have a few
usage questions about the default terminal application included with
FC13. Perhaps I should instead use a different terminal application
for my purposes?
- How can I disable the automatic conversion of email address and URLs
to hyperlinks?
- How can I make the mouse scroll wheel be used for scrolling back
through the terminal buffer, rather than acting as an up arrow?
- How can I change the terminal bell sound?
- It appears that sometimes when I resize the terminal, it is not
acknowledged by the remote computer when connected via ssh through a
screen session. How do I configure my terminal session so that
information is transmitted through to the remote session? Would it
pertain to PROMPT_COMMAND and PS1?
- How can I configure the terminal so copy is performed by simply
highlighting the text with the mouse, and paste is done through
shift-insert? I understand the default is to press the mouse scroll
wheel, but I would prefer the method I've described, and the scroll
wheel on my mouse apparently doesn't always properly work -- sometimes
it simply does not paste, and I have to do it a few times. I don't
understand why, because it's a brand new mouse (MS Wireless 5000).
- I found a link to copy and paste between a terminal and Windows
running in a VM, but isn't there a better way than installing and
running a separate program on both Windows and Linux for this purpose?

Ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
