As I'm not at a Mac at the moment, could someone post a screenshot of this terminal style?

I have a strange problem on Leopard that I didn't have on Tiger where I lose all my ctrl+ commands. I can't ctrl+l to clear the screen, I can't ctrl+a to go to the beginning of the line, etc.

I use iTerm normally but have confirmed this problem with Terminal.app also. Has anybody else run into this? Very frustrating.

Mine works just fine. What do you use as your terminal settings? (terminal preferences -> advanced -> declare terminal as)

Mine's set to xterm-color, and all the bindings work just fine.

Not very impressive. I'll take the "Pro" theme with size 13 font any day over this.

Mine is xterm-color too. Also, in iTerm the TERM envioronment variable is set to 'linux' and I have this problem with both apps.

I agree. I'll have to try it with Consolas to see the difference, but the default "Homebrew" theme is pretty good for me as well.

No self-respecting terminal user should suffer with Terminal.app--xterm supports more colors and more features. Even iTerm is a better alternative.
