Use gsettings:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita-dark' 

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'prefer-dark'

Build the game elsewhere, please. I have other plans with my head.

I just installed Konsole to try it out. CTRL + Arrows to jump between words works, but this also works in Blackbox and Gnome Terminal. :D

CTRL + SHIFT + Arrows for selecting words, SHIFT + Arrows for selecting characters, nor deleting selected text doesn’t work in Konsole, Blackbox, nor Gnome Terminal.

I generally agree with you.

The input works more like a normal text editor (including mouse support) and has in-built completions, syntax highlighting, and support for multiple-cursors.

If you actually want those features, that’s your shell’s job. Not your terminal emulator. And presumably if you need these fancy features you’ll just use a normal text editor to make a shell script.

I, personally, would like to see a terminal / shell / whatever with support of standard, modern text input: CTRL + Arrows to skip words, CTRL + SHIFT + Arrows to select whole words, deleting all of selected text etc. I find it baffling that the terminal – the main text input of my system – uses a different way of text input than any other text field.

1. download the Netinst ISO
2. install Debian without any GUI or “bloat”
3. ???
4. profit

It reminds me of Red Hat’s Bluecurve theme.
