Has anybody written a plugin to turn directories in to cd hyperlinks yet? That's the main thing I'm looking forward to being able to do with this project. That, and replace TotalTerminal, which seems to have hit EOL. :( Goodbye, my love..

Regarding the shell != terminal issue that is mentioned in several other comments... You've named a valid reason to blur the shell/terminal distinction. Nice. Another would be: the ability to manipulate streams (or whatever you'd like to call the content that flows through pipes). As in, replay a stream into some new process without re-executing the original. Another would be to fold terminal output. Removing the shell/terminal distinction opens a door to a world of possibilities. But, the door closes behind you!

My terminal (https://github.com/sedwards2009/extraterm https://github.com/sedwards2009/extraterm) can more or less do that now: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sedwards2009/extraterm/master/docs/from_command.gif https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sedwards2009/extraterm/mas... > Another would be to fold terminal output. I did have something like that, but had to disable it. That feature will make a reappearance sometime as I want it for things like automatically collapsing command (e.g. compiler) output if terminals successfully. I only need to see the output of failed builds, for example.

So you'd use your mouse to cd into directories after you `ls`? Moving you hand to the mouse, moving the mouse, clicking and clicking is quicker than `cd foo<TAB>`? Or just using a file manager and right click open terminal here?

  I never said that. I just want the option. Normally I just `j` everywhere, but if I'm already mousing, let me click.
