Warp VS manter

I'm trying out Warp for the first time, and an immediate accessibility issue for me is that the text is simply too small to read for a lot of the UI elements (context menu, side bar, tab bar…). The size should be configurable for all of the elements, not just the terminal view. I think I would also be fine with a setting that just scales the whole UI.

I did notice there is an issue for it already: https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/1443

Warp is a Rust-based terminal with AI built in. I like it because it has things like autocompletions, history search, click-to-edit, and theming out-of-the-box. Feels super modern. And if you do want to try it out, use my referral link & get a free theme!)

Unless you want to type this every day, I’d recommend creating an alias. In my case, I’m using Warp, so I’ll right-click the command and choose Save as Workflow to save my script as a workflow. Warp AI will even help me autofill the title and description and detect variables.

This makes me wonder about newer terminal emulators on maccOS like Warp[1], and if they're for example taking all input locally, and then sending it over the remote host in a single blob or not? I imagine doing so would possibly break any sort of raw-mode input being done on remote host but I'd also imagine that is a detectable situation in which you could switch into a raw keystroke feed as well.

Warp - GPT in the terminal - very helpful for debugging

You're right, I just found the discussion there (and it's the longest one currently). For now, I just run tmux inside the emulator.

This project aims to create a terminal with functionalities that improve the experience of using terminals. Examples of useful functionalities would be autocomplete suggestion, showing the current branch of a project, prepared scripts that can be reused, and others. You can come up with your ideas. The project uses technologies such as Svelte on the front-end, which offers flexibility regarding the implementation of the interface. On the back-end side, the most important part is the PTY. All the back end is implemented in Rust. The basic framework of the project is Tauri.

At the moment the terminal has suggestions only for some commands (cd, ls). To support more commands it is needed to add them in the Manter's "library" located at src/cli/library/library.ts. It is possible to have custom script based suggestions. For example if we write in the terminal “git checkout” and after we press Space, a dropdown will appear with all available branches.

A good analogy to understand the purpose of this project is the following - traditional terminals are like simple code editors while this terminal is like an IDE.

Anyone is welcome to contribute to this project with and ideas. Imagine the terminal you would like to use. Feel free to open any issue with suggestions and bugs.

Terminal built with Tauri (Rust+Svelte).

I got this idea of creating a terminal that is more user friendly having autocomplete suggestions. I couldn’t create a suggestions engine that would work for all commands. But I defined a structure (a state machine in src/cli/library/library.ts) that can be used to determine the next suggestions. The good part with this approach is that it is possible to have custom script based suggestions. For example if we write in the terminal “git checkout” and after we press Space, a dropdown will appear with all available branches. The bad part is that it will take some time to add more supported commands in this “library”.

Another feature is that in the bottom bar of the terminal we can have custom script based information. In .manter.json we can define a script that will generate this information. The script will be executed each time the prompt appears.

On the front-end are used web technologies which offer a flexibility to add any feature and style that we want.

I'm working on my new open-source project Manter (cross-platform terminal). Learning Rust by building software.
