I’m trying it, and it does looks nice.
Is there a competitor or is that the first of its kind?
Closest I can think of is Warp, although right now it’s still closed source and Mac only. If there are others I’ve missed I’d love to learn more!
Warp has discoverability features that would actually convince me of using a “modern” terminal - like instant tooltips with documentation.
That said, call it trust issues, but I’ll never use a closed source terminal.
I’d like to see more user-friendly features like this that are terminal-agnostic. Manually checking manpages is so slow and fickle. Having the equivalent of an intellisense for the command line would be awesome.
Yup, I feel you. It’s something I’ve always wanted myself, and I find myself hoping the OSS alternatives eventually implement something similar. For now I just make do with things like tealdeer and whatnot.
Edit: Just stumbled upon navi, the interactivity looks a lot closer to what we want than tldr and friends at least
I think Tabby is a similar project, but personally I spin up and throw out terminals very liberally. Tabby had a horrendous launch time, something more than a second which constantly bothered me while trying to work. I’d love to see how quick this is though!
Looks interesting, I will look into it. On first look it seems useful
“modern”, when it comes to terminals, usually translates to Javascript / web / electron
Kinda yes, sadly. However, at least they offer some reasoning for it like AI integration with the terminal.
Do you really need “AI”, when a simple autocomplete/LSP plugin does wonders?
Also, you have to be online for that. Uninterrupted electricity and internet is still a privilege.
We are used to badly optimized webapps but there’s some that definitely manage to be snappy wothout taking too much ressources
Not that I dont dislike electron anyway, but I’d hazard a guess that most of the jank we see in electron apps is more to do with javascript and overengineered web UI frameworks than the browser runtime. If it runs like shit in a browser then it wont be much better ported to electron.
I’ve been looking for a terminal with better bookmark support; I use mRemoteNG on windows for my RDP/SSH work, and I haven’t been happy with any alternative on Linux that handles session bookmarks like that. I’m curious to try this.
I manage a lot of systems, so just click to open a ssh session in a new tab. I usually have shell aliases, but a bookmark that could set the title of the tab to the hostname and account for easier nav would be my goal. Being able to dynamically open tab groups too would be good, like if I have a dev/prod/SQL server for an app I could 1-click to open a group of 3 tabs
Well, there’s this if you want to use it in Linux, I’ve used it before, liked it well enough, but not paying for it so I removed it (It’s sort of crippled if run free). I personally use Konsole on KDE which works quite well. I’ve read and think that Konsole also allows multiple bookmarked connections. I haven’t really tested it myself, I have roughly 10 machines I log into daily so I may try that further.
Before I made the leap to Linux years ago, I loved using MRemoteNG. Simply hands down the best. IMHO
I tesed the client posted here by the OP. While it looks pretty nice, it suffers the same thing as others I’ve tried. Nothing beats the simplicity of the plain 'ol shell in Linux or in OSX. :)
Ditch Vim for quick updates.
GAAAAAAAASP
