| Aug 9, 2014 at 18:21 | comment | added | eestrada | @Braiam Thanks for the pointer to the bug thread. Reading the thread on the bug, it seems that the issue is that the terminal emulator library vte didn't support this until recently. In turn, vte is used by Gnome Terminal, Xfce terminal, terminator and a bunch of others. This actually makes a lot of sense since most of the terminal emulators I have used were actually using vte internally. | |

| Aug 7, 2014 at 5:00 | comment | added | Sparhawk | @eestrada To save you some time, I've checked Terminator, Konsole, and Xterm, and none of those do this. FWIW less does support colour with the -R flag, but you probably need to tell the previous command in the pipe to send colour. (e.g. ls -l | less fails, but ls -l --color=always| less -R works.) Finally, I know that less and vim dynamically word wrap with changing window sizes, so perhaps something like screen or tmux might do it. | |
| Aug 7, 2014 at 3:55 | comment | added | eestrada | @Braiam I have been looked through all the preferences I can find and I can't seem to find a way in gnome terminal to enable this. Any tips on how to get this working? | |

| Aug 7, 2014 at 0:12 | comment | added | eestrada | @Braiam I haven't used Gnome terminal in a while. I have been on xfce (and thus xfce terminal) pretty much since gnome3 came out. I just installed gnome terminal. It doesn't act that way by default, but I will poke around in the settings for a bit. | |
| Aug 6, 2014 at 22:15 | comment | added | drs | It would be very easy to make this a short question (and then you wouldn't need to apologize for anything). Just keep the third and forth paragraphs (removing the "Let me explain further..." bit. Finish off with the first line of the last paragraph. | |
