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[edit]

Unix-like[edit]

If you are anyone that has tried to use a terminal on PC, I am sorry for your suffering. Below are some of the best terminal emulators that can up. Putty – Another free Telnet and SSH implementation for Windows. It also is an xterm terminal emulator. It also is an xterm terminal emulator. This is probably my favorite alternative to HyperTerminal.

Command-line interface[edit]

• 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[edit]

X11 and Wayland[edit]

Terminal emulators used in combination with X Window System and Wayland

• xterm – standard terminal for X11
• GNOME Terminal – default terminal for GNOME with native Wayland support
• guake – drop-down terminal for GNOME
• konsole – default terminal for KDE
• xfce4-terminal – default terminal for Xfce with drop-down support
• Terminator – written in Java with many novel or experimental features
• Terminology^[1] – enhanced terminal supportive of multimedia and text manipulation for X11 and Linux framebuffer
• Tilda – a drop-down terminal
• Yakuake – (Yet Another Kuake) a drop-down terminal for KDE
• rxvt – lightweight terminal emulator

• aterm (from rxvt 2.4.8) created for use with the AfterStep window manager (no longer maintained)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[edit]

Terminal emulators used on macOS

• Terminal – default macOS terminal
• iTerm2 – open-source terminal specifically for macOS
• xterm – default terminal when X11.app starts
• SyncTERM – includes serial line terminal
• ZTerm – serial line terminal

Apple Classic Mac OS[edit]

Microsoft Windows[edit]

• ConEmu – local terminal window that can host console application developed either for WinAPI (cmd, powershell, far) or Unix PTY (cygwin, msys, wsl bash)
• HyperACCESS (commercial) and HyperTerminal (included free with Windows XP and earlier, but not included with Windows Vista and later)
• mintty – Cygwin terminal
• Windows Console – Windows command line terminal

Microsoft MS-DOS[edit]

• Qmodem and Qmodem Pro

IBM OS/2[edit]

• ZOC – discontinued support for OS/2

Commodore Amiga[edit]

Commodore 64[edit]

Block-oriented terminal emulators[edit]

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

Coax/Twinax connected[edit]

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.

As noted above, a terminal initially was a combination of keyboard and a screen which were connected to a remote computer through a network, modem or network.

However, to allow the server programs some flexibility, the terminals had some limited computing power that enabled them to perform tasks beyond merely printing all received text. Instead, they could receive specific codes which were embedded in the text, and use these to format the output of the text, rather than just printing text left-to-right and top-to-bottom like a teletype.

However, each manufacturer (e.g. IBM, Digital Equipment, Wyse Corp.) used different codes to perform the formatting of text, so the terminals to access a certain type of server needed to be bought from the manufacturer of the server. In other words, different manufacturers used different codes that the servers sent to the terminals in order to move the cursor, change the color, manage the keyboard, modify screen attributes, clear the screen and so on.

Among the best-known terminal manufacturers were DEC (who created the line very popular of VT-Terminals, including vt100, vt220 etc.) and IBM (using 3270 and 5250 terminals).

For example, on a VT220 or ANSI terminal, to send the text 'this is an error!' to the user's screen with the word 'error' in red, the host would actually send This is an ^[31m error ^[0m! to the terminal emulator. Rather than displaying all the text, the VT220 terminal will strip the cryptic code parts ^[1m and ^[0m as commands and will print the text between them in a different color.
