- Ziomislaw 13y agoyes, but then you don't really _need_ such terminal. I would love to have FinalTerm's features in some sane terminal (no gtk, no super slow libraries etc)
- nawitus 13y ago>yes, but then you don't really _need_ such terminal. Who is "you"? Different people have different needs and preferences.
- vidarh 13y agoThe point is if the "gui" can be keyboard operated, then it can be displayed as text, by the shell, with no need to augment/modify the terminal emulator to do it. In fact, even if it is only mouse operated, you can do that - most terminal emulators support mouse interaction. The only thing you achieve by adding this to terminal emulator is guarantee that it will be unavailable to you whenever you need to log into any of the systems you work on from someone elses machine.

- vidarh 13y agoMaybe it's just me, but I care about functionality first, an beauty second for my terminals. I do like a pretty terminal, but I care more about being able to get things done.
