I've given up on XQuartz for now. At least for xterm/uxterm which is the primary use case. After a reboot, XQuartz will not start, I get multiple font dir permission issues now (tried reinstall--same). Makes no sense why it worked after upgrade, but not after reboot. I installed xorg-server from MacPorts and that runs. It still has the disappearing pointer issue that first showed up in Mojave where I have to cmd-tab to fix it. I can get cmd-~ to work if I uncheck "Enable key equiv under X11" in the prefs. But then cmd-Q and cmd-N do not work. I tried xev, and confirmed my .Xmodmap looks correct, however I cannot seem to get back cmd-` behavior. However I didn't spend more than a few min on it. I can adapt to alt-`. However, the real deal breaker is very slow back scrolling. I cannot quickly scrollback xterm output with trackpad swipes. This is a new issue only on catalina. Oh and having to put /bin/bash with full disk access just to get to Documents, Desktop, Downloads from an xterm is a bit over the top.
I've been testing iterm2 on my laptops for a year now. I've decided to just use that on my desktop as well where I usually used xterms. Its supported, fast, and can be enabled for full disk access. If I need X11, then I can still use the xorg-server build as needed. On Sun, Dec 15, 2019 at 8:27 AM Cheng-Yang Tan <[email protected]> wrote: > This is very weird.
