This feels… silly to me. Sorry, I think the idea of the project is in the right place, and the features look compelling enough that I would like to download the beta. But if you think about it for even a second, the logical conclusion of the arguments presented would be the removal of the terminal almost entirely, and at that point is it even a terminal?<p>Take git for example. When I was learning git I did it entirely through the command line. The first time I used a real GUI git client was the last day I ever willingly did day to day git operations in a terminal. (Outside of scripting CI/CD pipelines or something.) Isn’t this just an admission that no matter how good your terminal is, git is better accessed through a GUI?<p>Or look at the environ command, where the demo proudly shows editing environment variables as a table, something that Windows has supported in a real GUI since, like, Windows 7?<p>I think the author has a long way to go before they declare terminals dead. Here’s some ideas I would be really excited to see:<p>* A terminal-aware split pane file manager. One pane is a directory tree, the other is a terminal. Clicking up and down the folder automatically changes the working directory of the terminal. Double clicking an executable or script runs it in that terminal, showing the output. Actions such as moving, copying, etc are saved to history and copy-pasteable. Terminal output can be saved to a file with a toolbar button or right-click menu. Code running in the terminal can be edited using normal CUA shortcuts and you can click to select or position the cursor.<p>* A terminal history browser that lets you interact with previous commands and re-run them, perhaps like a Jupyter notebook. You can permanently save and re-use snippets in normal .sh format to use scripts.<p>* A true bash/zsh debugger that lets you step one by one through commands, set breakpoints and watches, see the state of the environment and variables, etc., all in a GUI that emulates debuggers from other paradigms.<p>* A git GUI that lets you record “macros” that are just bash scripts. Imagine cloning a repo, checking out a tag, creating a new branch, and applying a patch or something. Then, you could click “Save” and have that be a repeatable script that runs anywhere.
