In Tabby: Self-hosted AI coding assistantI have been waiting to try this out for sometime now. I recently tried various terminal emulator tools and I settled on wave terminal. This is a list of these tools for reference. I would list tools that are on both MacOS and Linux which is comparable to this new emulator. But also because I did not try any on windows.

In How much faster are the Gnome 46 terminals?iTerm2 is a great terminal for macOS. I use it extensively every day. Despite that, I would gladly try out other terminals because it's fun and because I'm always open to finding something superior to even the great tools I use.
That said, there is exactly 1 feature that seems to only exist in iTerm2, and until another terminal emulator appears that has it, I'm staying put: tmux control mode.

2 points · Open discussionIt looks to me like Terminus (the app) decided to re-name themselves of their own accord. Granted it could be seen as doing so per-emptively.
> Terminus is too close to Termius - a commercial terminal app. This causes a number of users to end up on our issue tracker when they're actually looking for help with Termius - it's better to cover your butt before the lawsuit comes than regret it later.
> There's another terminal app that's literally called "Terminus" and is packaged under this name at least in Debian and Ubuntu repos.
> It just rolls of the tongue better

In Show HN: Termius (YC W19) – Share your terminal session like Google DocsTermius is a mobile ssh client, which might explain the renaming.
Edit: damn you autocorrect. However, this is correct https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby/issues/4088
