Extraterm VS The Silver Searcher

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: about 1 year 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

If you have trouble finding it among the other stuff happening in the server log, well, so do I! I recommend learning how to programmatically search through your terminal output. Providing a universal method for this is challenging because various tools and terminal emulators implement this functionality differently. Another option would be to use tools like grep or the_silver_searcher (a favorite of mine) to... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

Some of the examples below use ag, but could just as well use grep or equivalent. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

Why guess when [there are installation instructions for various platforms on the README](https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher#installing)? Also, although it may not be easy to remember, is this really a problem in practice given the installation count in most contexts is one? If there's a context where it's installed regularly, that's... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

My "vim" way of finding all the places where a function is being used: using visual mode, marking the function, and passing it to :Ag (silversearcher) The problem with this is that it is not 100% accurate, since it will just look for things with the same name, so I was thinking about using the LSP to make things more robust.
