🎉 Ah, yet another terminal emulator—because the world just can't get enough of those! 🚀 Dive into the riveting complexities of "ghostel.el," where a table of contents is the star feature. 📚 Spoiler: it's powered by the groundbreaking "libghostty," which we're sure is what everyone's been waiting for. 🙄

Someone here posted about the #Starship prompt for the terminal once. I liked it a lot and decided to try. Then I found out #iTerm2 - a better terminal emulator. Then there were themes, color schemes, and finally, I discovered #Fish shell.

I now want to spend more time in my terminal than in UI.

Fish shell: https://fishshell.com

“I do recall Emacs ^S and ^Q being problematic due to terminal mode occasionally getting set badly (and then the underlying hardware would wake up, “Oh, flow control! I know how to do that!”, ^S would freeze everything and you had to Just Know to do ^Q…)”

@wrog this is still a problem in modern terminal emulators. On Linux, nearly all terminal emulator software emulates the DEC VT-220 hardware pretty closely, so it does actually send the ASCII DC1 and DC3 characters for C-q and C-s, and the virtual TTY device responds accordingly by blocking all further characters except for DC1 and DC3. You have to execute the command stty -ixon to disable soft flow control for a given TTY device after it has been initialized by the operating system.

I think there is a way configure the pseudoterminal manager system control to create virtual TTY devices that ignore DC1 and DC3 characters, but I don’t know how, and for whatever reason (probably for backward compatibility with older Unix systems) Debian-based Linux doesn’t configure it this way by default. I think most people just put the stty -ixon in their ~/.profile file.

Currently trying out #ghostty terminal emulator - it's pretty nice out-of-the-box and has font ligatures support. What puts me a bit off is the RAM usage, it uses more than #kitty (65 vs 50) which is the terminal I've been using for years now.

But maybe the extra RAM usage is justified, I need to try it out for a few weeks 🤔

What a wonderful surprise wezterm is proving to be!

I started using it as a less fussy alternative to kitty. Today, I discovered it has built-in muxing, just like tmux. Perfect for driving persistent ssh sessions. It is cross-platform and lua-configurable. Highly recommended !

I have been test-running wezterm for about a month now and am absolutely loving it ! Fast, outstanding support for glyphs, and a good balance b/w GUI support and minimalness. Would highly recommend! The only effort might be learning some very basic lua for configuration.

I was a sworn kitty user, but its glyph support (e.g., running emacs --no-window) is not able to do what I need.

Speaking of terminal emulators, #foot seems great, but unfortunately the lack of ligature support is a deal breaker

#terminalemulator

I see a lot of fuzz about #Ghostty #TerminalEmulator, and I'm sure it's great. But all that GTK and window/tab management stuff, no, thanks. I like fast and simple terminals, and letting my window manager take care of tabs, splits, etc. Been using #urxvt, #st, #kitty, #alacritty, #wezterm and then back to kitty. Give me a fast, spartan terminal with UTF-8, ligature support and a big buffer. That's all I need.

A thing I dislike about linux (VT-)terminals..

Copy is SHIFT+CTRL+C
Paste is SHIFT+CTRL+V
New Tab is SHIFT+CTRL+T

It's like that only on those apps and it crypples my workflow to the point that I use keycombos in other places as well.

> In vte, both Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Shift-C do the same thing, that is to send ^C. [...] if you unassign that, the default vte binding simply takes over.
