Extraterm VS Contexts

TermKit was one of the inspirations for Extraterm ( https://extraterm.org/ ). It separates command output, allows for reuse of previous output, as well mixing content types. The terminal VSCode has been picking up on these kinds of features lately. Now they can even "sticky" the previous command line at the top of the window when scrolling through long output. It has taken a long time, but these ideas are slowing... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Extraterm is very similar in style to what you are asking. I recommend the Qt version. Source: 12 months ago

iTerm2 is a great piece of software. It is probably the best "featureful" terminal on any platform. It is also an influence on my terminal project which also has a "features are good" philosophy but isn't limited to macOS. (https://extraterm.org/ , the website needs an update. It doesn't show latest state of the Qt version.). Source: about 1 year ago

My terminal, Extraterm used to have some direct text editing in older versions before changed the whole UI to use Qt and generally be much much faster. Source: over 1 year ago

There aren't many terminals on Linux much are aiming at iTerm2. At lot of popular terminals follow a minimalist philosophy where features are considered frivolous and a sign of newbie-ness. Personally, I'm not into that which is why I continue to work on my own terminal Extraterm with a maximalist approach. Iterm2 is a great piece of software and something I take a degree of inspiration from. Source: almost 2 years ago

I like using Contexts on the Mac as replacement: https://contexts.co. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

I use the Contexts [1] app, couldn't live without it (not affiliated...) It shows me all open Windows and in which Desktop, in its Sidebar (I've disabled the macOS dock.) Also the Cmd-Tab functionalities are nice, and I can use "Fn + [a single key] " shortcut to focus an app. Would recommend. [1] https://contexts.co/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

Thanks for your feedback, I'll have to give TST in the Firefox sidebar another try... > "I make use of ctrl-uparrow to switch between browser and VSCode" I use the Contexts app (Fast Search) for that - https://contexts.co/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Https://contexts.co has a sidebar option. In their landing page its there under the sidebar heading. Source: 11 months ago

You should try contexts! It also has a bunch of other features and is highly configurable. I'm not one to normally pay for software, but this is probably up there with some of the best $10 I ever spent. https://contexts.co/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
