In turn, the xterm applications emulates the DEC VT102 terminal and
also supports the DEC VT220 escape sequences. An escape sequence is a
series of characters that with the Esc character. Terminal accepts all

rated with a colon.

FILES
Terminal reads its configuration from the files $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/Termi‐
nal/terminalrc. Terminal creates the main menubar and the popup menu
from the files $XDG_DATA_DIRS/Terminal/Terminal.ui and the toolbars
layout from the files $XDG_DATA_DIRS/Terminal/Terminal-toolbars.ui. If
you customize the toolbars, the new toolbars layout is stored to
