List of terminal emulators

This is a list of notable terminal emulators. Most used terminal emulators on Linux and Unix-like systems are GNOME Terminal on GNOME and GTK-based environments, Konsole on KDE, and xfce4-terminal on Xfce as well as xterm.

Character-oriented terminal emulators

Unix-like

Command-line interface
  • Linux console – implements a large subset of the VT102 and ECMA-48/ISO 6429/ANSI X3.64 escape sequences.

The following terminal emulators run inside of other terminals, utilizing libraries such as Curses and Termcap:

  • GNU Screen – Terminal multiplexer with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation
  • Minicom – text-based modem control and terminal emulation program for Unix-like operating systems
  • tmux – Terminal multiplexer with a feature set similar to GNU Screen

Graphical
X11 and Wayland

Terminal emulators used in combination with X Window System and Wayland

  • aterm (from rxvt 2.4.8) created for use with the AfterStep window manager (no longer maintained)
  • Eterm (from rxvt 2.21) created for use with Enlightenment
  • mrxvt (from rxvt 2.7.11) created for multiple tabs and additional features (latest version released in 2008-09-10)
  • urxvt (from rxvt 2.7.11) created to support Unicode, also known as rxvt-unicode
  • Wterm – created for NeXTSTEP style window managers such as Window Maker
macOS

Terminal emulators used on macOS

Apple Classic Mac OS

Microsoft Windows

Microsoft MS-DOS

IBM OS/2
  • Kermit 95
  • ZOC – discontinued support for OS/2

Commodore Amiga

Commodore 64

Block-oriented terminal emulators

Emulators for block-oriented terminals, primarily IBM 3270, but also IBM 5250 and other non-IBM terminals.

Coax/Twinax connected

These terminal emulators are used to replace terminals attached to a host or terminal controller via a coaxial cable (coax) or twinaxial cabling (twinax). They require that the computer on which they run have a hardware adapter to support such an attachment.

tn3270/tn5250

These terminal emulators connect to a host using the tn3270 or tn5250 protocols, which run over a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection.

  • TN3270 Plus
  • Eicon Aviva
  • ZOC
  • x3270 – IBM 3270 emulator for X11 and most Unix-like systems[2]
  • Tn5250j
  • Rocket BlueZone
  • IBM Personal Communications
  • c3270 – IBM 3270 emulator for running inside a vt100/curses emulator for most Unix-like systems[2]
gollark: Why not? I do count. Sometimes I count to 12.
gollark: Yes, deleting 2000 messages because of [REDACTED] is totally not causing any problems.
gollark: As they should be.
gollark: er, points.
gollark: so now I just need to add three more words.
