Extraterm Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Waveterm

  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

• Windows Terminal-like terminal for Linux?

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

• What's your favorite terminal emulator?

  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

• Any terminal apps like warp?

  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

• What’s everyone’s favorite terminal app right now? (Currently running Ubuntu 20.04)

  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

• Is there a way to copy terminal buffer other than using tmux?

  The next Qt version of Extraterm (https://extraterm.org/) will have a command to copy the contents of the scrollback and/or a command output if you are using shell integration, to the clipboard. Source: almost 2 years ago

• which terminal emulator do you recommend?

  Extraterm, because having features in a terminal emulator is a feature, and an emulator doesn't have to look like a fork of the ancient (and spartan) xterm. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Development Environments: discussion about terminals and IDEs in 2022

  It sounds like you are exploring the same topics I am in my project Extraterm (https://extraterm.org/). I'm coming at it from the terminal side first though. Check out some of the examples further down on the page https://extraterm.org/features.html . I'm keen to get more structured data into a terminal / CLI workflow. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Best terminal emulator with good-enough compatibility to run `emacs -nw` adequately

  You can try Extraterm (https://extraterm.org/). It supports WSL specifically by side-stepping most of the windows console system and talks quite directly from the terminal to the Linux side. The experience should then be just as fast as compatible as though you were running emacs on a Linux system/terminal. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Is there a terminal that can open new tabs in different profiles?

  I just learned about extraterm 'https://extraterm.org/'. Source: over 2 years ago

• Which terminal emulator do you use?

  Extraterm. https://extraterm.org/ because it runs on what ever operating system I'm on, it has features (yes, even a scrollbar!), and it going to be sleeker and better than ever once I've ported it over to use Qt. Source: almost 3 years ago

• The terminal is on life support. Is it worth saving?

  If you want to play with the idea of having command output divided into blocks, you can go try it in my terminal Extraterm (https://extraterm.org/) which has had it for years. Or just have a look at the gifs on the features page to get an idea of what is possible: https://extraterm.org/features.html (halfway down page). - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written in Rust

  If "usable as iTerm2" means the terminal actually aims to have features, then you can try my project Extraterm ( https://extraterm.org/ ). It supports ligatures and more. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• tab based terminal to use to access WSL from windows

  Extraterm supports WSL directly, actually has features, and should feel pretty comfortable if you are used to Linux. Source: about 3 years ago
