Mac Forum / General / General / July 2007Can I user xterm-256color in Terminal.app?
I have an entry of xterm-256color in the directory /usr/share/terminfo/ 78/, which I think came with ncuresew package I installed via DarwinPorts. If I run mrxvt and export TERM=xterm-256color, I see beautiful 256 colors display in both vim and emacs. But if I do this in Terminal.app, (i.e., TERM=xterm-256color vim), vim would display blinking screen, although I managed to issue :echo &t_Co and that does return 256 How can I use xterm-256color in regular Terminal.app?

Vim just looks at the TERM entry to get the color count. t_Co is NOT information obtained from Terminal.app Terminal.app is an 8 color terminal emulator. At best you can get 16 colors where there is a dark and light shade of each of the 8 colors. Bob Harris |
