That is great. Neither konsole or gnome-terminal has search capability. :)

Is the color palette configurable somehow (a Terminal.clr color list or 
something)?

Moreover, I think that some preferences should be placed in an 'Inspector

be for global preferences and new windows and the inspector panel for active 
window.

Anyway, I like it,
