Fair enough. There are resources, but not worth it unless you really 
want the app.

Um, yes. The (hardware, serial) terminals we had a uni didn't have such 
niceties, and therefore we should not want them.

I once had a vi macro bound to ";" for "^W:!!^M", which autosaves the 
current file and reran the last shell command. Used it a lot in the 
single-terminal days. I unbound it several years ago though.

I'd like to hear how that goes down the track. If I find myself on a 
Linux desktop again a good terminal emulator would be very welcome.
