Absolutely stunning - I've often wondered myself about why the terminal doesn't behave like this already, it just makes sense.
My only worry would be this is obviously so great it's only a matter of time before Apple/Microsoft see the light and build something similar into their OS - however hopefully this happens via acquisition rather than what happened to Flux, Watson and Duet.
- chokolad 5y agoThere was this rather janky IDE for Powershell, way before VSCode even existed, called Powershell ISE, that had very similarly looking autocomplete behavior in it's terminal window.
- seniorThrowaway 5y agoIt's still around, I just used it today. I rarely use Powershell but when I do it helps (somewhat) to use this vs straight command line. I want to like Powershell but there is so much about it that just feels off as a long time bash script writer. I am admittedly a novice at Powershell though, so maybe it is just me.
- wraptile 5y agoMost terminals do behave like this, or am I missing something? Sure it has some nice extras like help messages and icons but those aren't that important, right? Even super niche shells like xonsh [1] has visual autocomplete [2] 1 - https://xon.sh https://xon.sh 2 - https://i.imgur.com/p8TFdKv.png https://i.imgur.com/p8TFdKv.png
