Fedora Engineering Steering Committee has recently had a meeting where the upcoming Fedora 18 features<\/a> were decided. \u00a0Out of the whole list, I am actually really looking forward to just one – 256 color terminals<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Many terminal programs (like\u00a0vim<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0ls<\/strong>\u00a0for example) can take advantage of 256 color terminals, and all xterms I know of support at least 256 colors and sometimes more.
\nSo let’s break through the artificial 8 color limit!<\/p>\n

Also when preparing this page, while searching the net I noticed that Mac OS X Terminal’s default $TERM value is xterm-256color since Lion 10.7 That will ease some of the compatibility issues noted below.<\/p>\n

You can see vim’s default appearance using the above expanded palette at:<\/p>\n

Sure, the upgraded Perl and Python, Samba4 and Active Directory integration, FedFs and even the MATE Desktop (based on Gnome 2.x) are all cool. \u00a0But I don’t use any of them on a daily basis anymore. \u00a0Most of my needs have moved beyond desktop and straight into the browser. \u00a0But the colorful terminal still plays a major role in my daily routine, so I’m glad to see there will be an enhancement.<\/p>\n

What’s your most expected feature?<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
