• Kill without entering PID: Scroll with arrows until your target process is at the top of the list. Type 'k'. Your target process will be pre-entered (see “default”).
• Scroll all tasks: You can, just use arrow and page keys. Don’t use the terminal scrollbar.
• Tree view: type 'V'.
• Colors: type 'z'. Customize colors: 'Z'
• Bar-graphs: type 'm' and 't' repeatedly.

cheers!

You can’t kill a process from Glances.

Your article is not correct, your arguments here make it even worse. Sure it doesn’t have mouse support, how many terminal applications do? I can only think of vim and tmux, and it’s hardly used. If you want a GUI with mouse support (and pretty colors?..) then use GNOME system monitor.

top needs a PID, of course, you want to tune/kill a specific process. This tool is meant for production, not to kill your LibreOffice processes. For a process tree, hit c and then V in top. Please update this article and do your research, if you can even call reading a man/help page ‘research’.

@Kees

Atleast top doesn’t support mouse operations, it is not configurable, requires a PID to kill or renice a process and others. Does it even display a process tree, i haven’t seen this feature yet.

@DannyB

Yes, i personally prefer glances to all these monitoring tools, it is modern, more advanced and feature-rich. Thanks for the contribution.
