I decided to replace xfce4-terminal with urxvt (rxvt-unicode). No real issues,
just some usage differences like no right-click to copy URLs, and using
Ctrl-Alt-C to copy text to paste into a browser, and Ctrl-Alt-V to paste it
into urxvt. That was on the out-of-date Ubuntu laptop.

Note: I use the Super-T to spawn a terminal with tmux running in it.

On Arch Linux, running urxvt with tmux yields an output of

"10;rgb:2000/ff00/2000]11;rgb:0000/0000/0000"

which is presented as a command. Have to hit Enter to continue normally.

Looking into it, it is not a tmux problem, but a urxvt problem.

I found a series of Arch-related commands to patch urxvt and reinstall it.
Not important here to show them. But patching and building an Arch package
worked fine. The only real issue is why the uxrvt patch is not yet a part
of the Arch package.

I'm happy with xfce4-terminal, but I have it set up to give me tabs, and
gave it the extra config to have tabs at the bottom.

I also use unicode glyphs at the beginning of my window title strings in
my bash prompt, and they propagate to the window title. Makes it easier
to identify which terminal window is on which host.

I've been using urxvt for many years now, and never had this either.
I use tmux quite a bit too. I'm not using Arch btw.

Fun project (on Fluxbox):

- Run xfce4-terminal and make a few tabs.
- Run another xfce4-terminal and middle-click drag it onto the first one;
in Fluxbox, this creates a tab in the destination window and hovering
over the window titles will change which one is active.
- Run tmux in one of the tabs.
- In one of the tmux panes, run vim and open files in multiple
tabs in the vim instance.

The result:

It's tab inception! 😆️

Seriously though, tabs in the window manager look handy,
but I don't see myself using them very often. I'm happy
with how xfce4 behaves -- it does the job, and gets out
of my way when I run full screen applications (usually
games).
