I've always been thinking there can be a better shell like having a split pane to show the list of command options with descriptions as you start typing in the command or show snippets of a preset of command options that does task X as in search by use case instead of going to stackoverflow every time.
I think the way people handle shell, as in typing commands on a dumb shell, has not improved for decades and I don't know why. The only thing they help without explicitly asking is with autocompletion.
- djsumdog 8y agoI really like fish. It doesn't open a split pane, but it can show lists of command switches in tab complete based on man pages. I'm really tempted to try xnosh again as my daily driver for a few weeks though. I like the idea of typing out arbitrary Python code without spawning up IPython. The problems people seem to be stating about xonsh were similar to a lot of the early bugs with Fish, but those things tend to go away once more people start using the shell and reporting issues. I hope we got a whole new generation of usable shells with xonsh, oil and fish.
