Have > a look here: I will second this. I use ratpoison and have it configured so it actually looks like a console (no borders, no labels, ...). Maximises the screen real estate and yet provides a full Emacs experience including full colours (not just 16 or whatever you get with the console) and all the various keystrokes (M- etc.). I used to use console+screen but found the limitations of the console frustrating. I still do use this combination when connecting via ssh from my phone but that's for quick 'n dirty access only and I put up with the reduced interface capabilities. -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.92.1 : using Org-mode version 7.8.03 (release_7.8.03.283.g171ea)
