It doesn't support underline or italic or bold text, it doesn't support 256-color or true-color formats, it doesn't support mouse input. Your chosen TERM=linux has very limited features. until you notice that the codes used for special keys are all different! If you used TERM=xterm in Urxvt or vice versa, arrow keys or Home/End wouldn't work. They often imitate Xterm (which itself imitates a physical VT320, I think) – but not all of them support every single feature, and sometimes the basic features also differ.įor example, Urxvt is also Xterm-like when working with basic apps.
Nowadays, most terminal emulators are mostly compatible. if they were all compatible, $TERM wouldn't have been invented.
