tilix

For any D Lang linux nerds out there looking for a D Lang challenge, Tilix terminal is looking for a maintainer - https://gnunn1.github.io/tilix-web/. Looking for a new maintainer post - https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/issues/1700 Tilix is a great terminal which somehow balances ease of use whilst catering to power users as well. IMO that is. Note: Not affliated to the project. Just love using Tilix.

A terminal had to change the name from Terminix to Tilix due to trademark issues, even though one is a terminal and the other is a pest killer. https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/issues/815

Tilix: https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix

Apologies, this has been an incorrect definition on my side (but correctly understood by the GP). What I referred to with "tiling capabilities" in: > tiling capabilities of the terminal are severely limited because the devs are hostile to APIs that would allow such functionality (see Tilix debate) is actually the keyboard navigation/selection support in the terminal. There has been debate between the terminal maintaner(s) and the GNOME VTE maintainer, and lead to nothing. Without providing any technical information, the twit means nothing, and IMO, in the context of the GNOME devs culture, it's just another, typical, "F* you". The is a reference to the debate [in the Tilix bug tracker](https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/issues/1305), but regarding the debate itself, I don't have it handy.

>What exactly stops gnome terminal (the obvious referent of "all the other terminals") from implementing this itself once the apis are available? They could but then every terminal would have to re-implement the same feature causing needless code duplication. You can see here later a comment from the tilix developer that explains it: https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/issues/848#issuecomment-2892...

Tilix is an excellent terminal emulator, but it's not adding any new features until it gets a new maintainer. Anyone familiar with the D programming language (similar to C/C++) is welcome to apply. https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/issues/1700

I'll give you iterm's tmux mode, seems tilix has an open issue for it but not implemented yet. https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/issues/480 Everything else listed on iterm's site seem fairly trivial to do with tilix and other linux emulators in general. In any event, lots of this stuff is better implemented in the shell itself (zsh and so on) much more portable that way. Both iTerm2 and tilix are great on the desktop. Terminals are just a solved problem these days. Hell even Windows is catching up with their new terminal app (not to mention WSL(2)).

I migrated over to Gnome and Tilix as a tiling terminal emulator. I find its a little easier to deal with than a tiling WM. https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix

Probably, are you going to start on that? It's not like someone's holding a gun to your head and telling you to use it. You can do it yourself, wait, or not use it. There's so many options for this situation. Here's the code: https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/ Another cool trick is to use zero trust mentality and get the secrets to the box without having to copy/paste/type/view them through your terminal emulator.

Another idea is a tiling terminal program. I just started using Tilix. https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix It has panes, sessions, windows. Customizing is a lot easier if you're not already familiar with tmux. The one thing you get with tmux that's killer is if your shell dies (remote disconnect, you have to logout, etc) the processes in tmux keep running.
