Lets reinvent the wheel but rather than having it round, lets make it square so its slower and less efficient, then we can slap our names on it and cross promot

  Yeah... xterm with a few tweaks (and some pruning) would still be best for me.

Check https://github.com/csdvrx/CuteXterm https://github.com/csdvrx/CuteXterm for my bag of tricks :) xterm offers the best emulation, period. The developer is reactive and maintain high quality standards. The only real issues for me are the lack of configurable shortcuts, and ligatures. wezterm is a good option if you need these, and don't depend on xterm perfect emulation.

  But you see, the square wheels have the effect of a built in parking brake, no need for pesky wheel chocks or other mechanical systems. For v2 we're investigating octagon wheels. So far early feedback is very promising, a much smoother ride and still the built in parking brake feature.

  Yeah like terminals are perfect. The current state of terminals is more like an octagon wheel to me, it works but the edges are rough. Like, why is it so hard to copy the output of a command? Why can’t I just right click anywhere in the output and select « copy stdout », « copy stderr », « copy output »? Right now I have to scroll like a caveman, hoping my configured scroll back is high enough, and that I don’t select too far ahead

  It's really comments like yours that keep me going.
