Speaking of cross-platform alternatives to traditional Unix shells, if you like Python try http://xon.sh http://xon.sh . More compatible and overall usable as a shell than IPython.
- atkailash 9y agoI use this as my daily. Totally love it. The config is just standard Python, and it has extensions. It's pretty neat overall and definitely worth a try.
- BeetleB 9y agoI use this both on my work machine (Windows) and on my Linux box. On Windows, it's great - if you don't want to learn Powershell. I get bash like behavior and can easily write custom "shell" scripts. On Linux - not so great. Borderline frustrating to be honest. Some of the issues I have: If I open something using nano, pressing ^X doesn't work as expected. Similar problems with other terminal software: I think some keybinding in less didn't work as well. Midnight commander takes a long time to load. Randomly, in Midnight commander I cannot click on things. Actually, this ability to click and select text in my console randomly goes away with Xonsh. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. A few other quirks I don't remember. I tried different terminal software and the problems were in all of them. I haven't yet reported these to the team. I do hope they can fix them. It is otherwise a great shell.
- atkailash 9y agoI have a couple similar ones too. Except I can't even start nano, it automatically gets sighup or something I think.
