There are many related attempts to make the terminal more modern, by including some HTML in it, improved auto-completion, and many other ideas.
For example:
- TermKit (https://github.com/unconed/TermKit https://github.com/unconed/TermKit, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2559734 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2559734)
- GateOne (https://github.com/liftoff/GateOne https://github.com/liftoff/GateOne)
- DomTerm (https://domterm.org/ https://domterm.org/)
- Extraterm (https://extraterm.org/ https://extraterm.org/)
- GraphTerm (https://github.com/mitotic/graphterm https://github.com/mitotic/graphterm)
- HTerm (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7539648 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7539648)
- Terminology (https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology)
I wonder about the state of these, or in general about terminal emulators.
I really miss some extended features, like foldable text (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/issues/3 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/...) or even just standardized image support (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/issues/12 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/...).
And maybe this could be further extended to also directly support sth like this autocomplete support.
It becomes tricky when you think about how this works well together with tmux, SSH, Mosh, etc.
- mschrage 5y agoThese are all such cool projects. We took some early inspiration from TermKit! I think the tricky thing is that you need to switch terminal emulators in order to use the new features. We've tried to make everything as backwards compatible as possible. Our goal is for Fig to integrate seamlessly with your existing tools and workflows.
