You're pretty much asking for PowerShell. I've been using it for a while, which might jade my answer. That said, I've got it being installed on my Unix systems

You're pretty much asking for PowerShell. I've been using it for a while, which might jade my answer. That said, I've got it being installed on my Unix systems as my one-true-shell.
You stream objects instead of text. The objects can be rich. It's a huge step forward in semantics and consistency.
- WalterGR 10y agoIs there terminal support though for navigating the resulting objects?
- jstimpfle 10y agoThink what "navigating" should mean. If it's a vague, abstract thing which could mean a million different things in practice, the answer is likely "no".
- WalterGR 10y agoWell, I've given examples above of what I mean, so I think that one could extrapolate that to other examples... But to put it in more concrete terms: Is there a shell + terminal that permits the user to interact with shell output - in specific circumstances - whereby "interact" I mean: * the ability to view additional properties (which are hidden by default) of objects represented in the output * the ability to make a user-selected object the primary focus of investigation * the ability to easily (think - right click, or keyboard commands to accomplish the same) expose verbs that can be activated on those objects, and additionally to choose one?
- jstimpfle 10y agoThere are many people around the internet hating it with a passion. I believe them. There can't be a tool that magically reads all of your wishes. Serious question, have you ever known a technical Windows sysadmin? I tried to backup a directory tree today as a domain administrator using robocopy, and could not do it without messing with file permissions. Not that today's Unix is that simple anymore...
