          Lol for the longest time I thought gnome shell terminal was the same as gnome terminal

          Yeah; if Gnome terminal had slightly better tab configuration it would be all the terminal I’d ever need, I think. Using it as an IDE (couple of Vim / YouCompleteMe tabs, a build tab, a unit test tab) is a bit of a finger twister to flip between.

        Issues on Github consist not only of bug reports, for example, but also of feature requests. If, for example, you only display issues with the label “Enhancement” at https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby, there are already over 300 of them. In addition, I have made the experience that often reported issues arise from Layer 8 problems. And that some issues, unfortunately, are not closed when they are outdated. Generally speaking and not related to this terminal emulator.

        By the way, according to https://github.com/vim/vim/issues, the editor vim has over 1,300 issues. Also in this case, not all of them are actual problems that need to be fixed.

    A terminal that uses Electron? Hah, no…not a chance. I’ll stick with wezterm.

      I installed it yesterday, I’m using kitty as default one, and noticed its just better in displaying colors. They kinda have a bit of more depth there. Any other cool uses of wezterm that you might recommend? Thanks!

        Sorry for the late response…

        It has a bunch of useful features but the one I use all the time is quick search (CS-Space). It searches for things (URLs, hashes, file paths) and marks them with a one or two letter shortcut. If you type the shortcut it copies the string onto your clipboard, if you enter the shortcut in caps it copies and also automatically pastes it. And you can define your own quick search strings, anything you can describe with a regular expression.

      First time I read about it, what’s great about it? I currently use a combo of alacritty and tmux and aside for a thing or two I could configure better I love it.

      Why should I use wezterm or alacritty and not Terminator?

      The answer to your question and mine should be pretty much the same. Because everyone has different preferences and requirements.

        I think you misunderstood. I want to know what requirements you have, that are not met with wezterm. I understand, that some people like different software, but this is a huge github repo for a terminal written with electron. Just confuses me

      Damn I gave those a brief lookup and they seem quite sexy. I’ll have to try them out.

      My main complaint with foot is that I have to copy the terminfo everywhere, but other than that it just works I guess

    From skimming through readme I’m not sure what does it offer more than terminator+zsh. Well, ok maybe the drop-down key, but for that there are a few good terminals too

    Tabby looks very good and straightforward but I’m more of a Nushell guy. Really love the user experience there.

    I use this simply because I work in an offline environment and the Windows Terminal doesn’t work there.

    Edit: I haven’t tried it since microsoft/terminal#6010 got closed. I’ll have to try again soon.

    Tabby seems to get a lot of hate in the comments here, but I enjoy it for the following reasons:

    • it looks consistently on all platforms
    • it has a nice working sync of connection profiles (even of ssh keys…encrypted!)
    • its opensource

    Yes, it is built on electron-crappie, but for someone who jumps across different workstations with multiple hosts with their own configurations, tabby is very straightforward.

    Could the sync be done with other means? Sure, but I won’t bother since tabby offers that OOTB and I can get up and running in 5 minutes from a fresh install.

      Sorry, but what on earth does this have to do with a terminal emulator? Something like this makes way more sense as a separate tool. It’s like if I was making a decision of what video player to use because it can sync my browser bookmarks.

      • So can qt, gtk and pretty much any gui toolkit
      • Syncthing or git annex functionally the same
      • So is every other terminal

      Basically just wasting resources for no reason
