It is very good, and I am currently using it. I don’t like its dependencies on GTK stuff, the developer is a little picky about what to support, and I dislike the +options style. Other than that, 👍 .
Also great: Wezterm, Konsole, Rio. I’m excitedly following Rio’s development, which has a much smaller dependency list, and hopping back and forth between it and Ghostty/Wezterm. But it’s still got some things to iron out and features to develop.
It’s been a while, but my clumsy adding of a comment to the buffer is unnecessary, given zle -M, which will display a message outside of the buffer. So here’s an updated version:
# -- Run input if single line, otherwise insert newline --
# Key: enter
# Credit: https://programming.dev/comment/2479198
.zle_accept-except-multiline () {
if [[ $BUFFER != *$'\n'* ]] {
zle .accept-line
return
} else {
zle .self-insert-unmeta
zle -M 'Use alt+enter to submit this multiline input'
}
}
zle -N .zle_accept-except-multiline
bindkey '^M' .zle_accept-except-multiline # Enter
# -- Run input if multiline, otherwise insert newline --
# Key: alt+enter
# Credit: https://programming.dev/comment/2479198
.zle_accept-only-multiline () {
if [[ $BUFFER == *$'\n'* ]] {
zle .accept-line
} else {
zle .self-insert-unmeta
}
}
zle -N .zle_accept-only-multiline
bindkey '^[^M' .zle_accept-only-multiline # Enter
If you choose to give Fedora a try, I recommend Ultramarine, which has more set up from the start, including their “Terrs” repository with more updated packages.
Ah yes you can tell by the post title:
best linux terminal emulator
For me: Wezterm. It does pretty much everything. I don’t think Alacritty/Kitty etc. offer anything over it for my usage, and the developer is a pleasure to engage with.
Second place is Konsole – it does a lot, is easy to configure, and obviously integrates nicely with KDE apps.
Honorable mention is Extraterm, which has been working on cool features for a long time, and is now Qt based.
I suggest trying this one for Zsh, over the more common one: https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlighting
As someone else said, setting less’ jump value is helpful.
Another tool I use, mostly for the zshall manpage, is https://github.com/kristopolous/mansnip
No, that’s not used by Zsh.
Glad you have it working. This may also work:
_stfu () {
shift words
(( CURRENT-=1 ))
_normal -P
}
compdef _stfu stfu
FWIW I’ve read an Arch dev complain that folks using any 3rd party installer are not in fact “running Arch” and should not claim to be doing so.
The window shade problem is keeping me from Wayland. AFAIU there’s currently no commitment to ever fix it on Wayland, it’s only a maybe.
For anyone interested, it’s being tracked here.
It’s more about replacing typed text than using shortcuts, but there’s espanso.
Ok next time I won’t use your computer.
I’ll just second the suggestion that KDE Plasma is worth a try, as it’s very adaptable once you know what you want. You don’t need to install any addons for the functionality you describe, just open the Shortcuts settings, KWin category, and have at it.
Ooh I haven’t seen this one. Anyone have a comment on this vs the KleverNotes project? I think that’s the name.
The Power and Battery widget now responds to middle-clicks and scrolls: middle-click will block or re-enable automatic sleep and screen locking, and scrolling will change the active power profile
Scrolling on the battery applet is how I adjust my brightness. Is that no longer a thing?
Have you checked the system settings page that includes compositor stuff?
I don’t know how they picked the name for this new terminal, maybe it’s a reference.
