Thanks!

My review. I'm happy to admit I'm not a terminolgy fan and normally use lxterminal, but had to try this cuz I'd prefer to use bodhi defaults. Works for me!

The thing I really didn't like before, is that when I right click, there is a delay in the menu popping up. I remember that in my head, to the point I removed it from all my computers. So when I saw your new version I had to re-try it.

I only tried it on my "fast computer" and of course right-click was the first thing I tried. What I observed is the first time, it's slow. Then after that, it's fine. Then I thought about it. The main reason I use right-click is to copy/paste. And in other terminals, besides appearing fast the first time I click, the cut/paste menu appears *where* I click. Seems in terminology its always way over to the right. This is annoying having to move my mouse so far to copy/paste.

I didn't like the greyish background, I wanted it true black. I first played around in settings with "background" and "colors" unsuccessfully, then tried "theme". After picking the black theme, then my background was black. But I couldn't get the text white. I thought the transparency option was cool, I played around with it and decided 90% is good.

I don't like the bell when I backspace too much, so I disabled that.

I replaced my ibar terminal with terminolgy so I'm going to keep using it to see if I want to keep it.
