This page allows you to download settings files that can be imported into the Preferences window of MacTerm. They are broken down by category; for instance, macro sets make it easier to use certain key sequences or programs, and formats give you more color schemes.
Formats
How to Install:
You can drag any number of these files to the MacTerm Dock icon and
have them all imported into the correct category automatically (regardless of which
category is currently displayed in the Preferences window). Alternately, use the
“Import from File…” command in the “+” pop-up menu in the Preferences window.
Default color schemes will be installed when MacTerm creates new preferences or when there are no custom items in your list of Formats. If you deleted the originals or have old preferences, you can download the files below to recreate any of the original color schemes.
The Standard Colors pane (16 base colors) is not set for every color scheme below; many of them are configured to simply inherit from the Default because basic colors work well in most schemes. If you have customized your Default Format to set a new 16-color palette in Standard Colors, you may also want to tweak the appearance of Standard Colors in certain imported sets.
If you click these files, your web browser might attempt to display them; if necessary, use a contextual menu on the links and save them directly, then see “How to Install” above.

Macro Sets
How to Install:
You can drag these files to the MacTerm Dock icon and have them
imported into the correct category automatically (regardless of which category
is frontmost). Alternately, use the “Import from File…” command in the pop-up
menu of the “+” button in the Preferences window.

- An example macro set that defines short-cuts for several common commands in the GNU screen program.
- TextTransforms.plist

- VT220KeysF1-F10.plist
- Macros that map the first 10 function keys of the VT220 keyboard to use ⌘⌥F1, etc.
- VT220KeysF11-F20.plist
- Macros that map the last 10 function keys of the VT220 keyboard to use ⌘⌥F1, etc.
- VT220KeysSpecial.plist
- Macros that map the VT220 Find, Insert, Delete, Select, Page Up and Page Down sequences to the keyboard. When using this scheme, it is important to take note of the key mappings in the macro set; if you do not want the chosen keys to be redefined, edit the mappings after importing the file.
