TSE: Linux: non-WSL: How to start TSE in an xterm terminal?

[knud van eeden]

Hello,

E.g.

1. Open a terminal

2. Type the command:

xterm -ge 118x29 -fa Monospace -fs 10 -e "/home/knudvaneeden/Downloads/tse/e" &

(adapt the path to e to your system)

3. That will start TSE in xterm terminal in a separate window.

with friendly greetings

Hi Knud

You're right.

On another note, one might wish to create an alias for such a long string in the .bashrc file.

Even better, create a function, like this (added to e.g. the end of .bashrc):

tse() {

  xterm -ge 118x29 -fa Monospace -fs 10 -e "/home/knudvaneeden/Downloads/tse/e" $1 $2 &

}

Open a new terminal (for changes in the .bashrc to take effect). Note the optional $1 and $2 which allows to give command-line options to TSE.

My apologies to those readers who are savvy Linux users, for providing such simple tricks.

With kind regards,

Claus

Definitely very useful.

The hidden file (because of that dot '.' in front) has to be located in your home directory

~/.bashrc

or thus similarly e.g. here

/home/knudvaneeden/.bashhrc

You can (that is just tested here) edit that file in TSE 4.50.13 using any of the 2 notations.

Make a backup first.
