On HN 2 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10176289 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10176289 Tried it again today, replacing urxvt+zsh for an hour or so. Most of these problems are probably due to the fact they use a custom shell: - ctrl-r (history search) just reloads the electron window and clears everything [0] - does not work with virtualenv (bin/activate just messes up the shell to the point where even `ls` stops working – `Black Screen: command "ls" not found.`) [1] - weird tab completion - none of the "advanced" shell features work over ssh (well, that's expected, since ssh starts a standard bash/zsh/whatever shell on the server) - had to install bunch of additional npm deps [2] to make it start on Linux - `tmux` is less broken that it used to be when i first tried it, but still not without any problems, same for `htop` and `vim` - it reports that some built-in commands are present, but they don't work at all (eg. print, source) [3] Plus it's kinda slow. Terminals are hard.
