multixterm

Multixterm is a useful utility tool that allows you to create multiple xterms simultaneously. Whether you want to combine or operate various xterms individually, multixterm has you covered. The program is straightforward to get started with as you do not need any arguments once launched. Simply enter your commands in the first entry field and then press the return key or click the "new xterm" button to create a new xterm with that command.

One of the best features of Multixterm is that you can redirect keystrokes in the "stdin window" to all xterms started by the tool. And if you desire to operate the xterms separately, you can easily focus on any of them. One thing to note is that for keystrokes to be sent to the xterms, the stdin window must have the focus. You can tell when the stdin window has the focus since its color changes to aquamarine, while characters entered turn green momentarily.

Another helpful feature is that you can send an escape character before the typed characters while holding down the alt or meta key. This allows support for programs such as emacs. Overall, multixterm is a valuable tool that simplifies working with multiple xterms, allows for easy switching between them, and provides support for programs such as emacs.
