Contour: Modern and Fast Terminal Emulator
> Editing multiline inputs is awful.
Outside of "line at a time" i/o (a rarely used mode where an entire line is edited locally and then sent to the host), most of what users see is as interactive is controlled by the program you are interacting with. The terminal just takes commands from the host and does what it is told. BTW, line at a time mode isn't used that much. The only thing I use that uses line at a time mode is telenet in LINEMODE.
> Navigating history is so-so
Yes, that is because the program you are likely interacting with where history is relevant implements it's own repl or command line (i.e. bash, zsh, python, etc...) and it is responsible for it's own history and may implement it completely differently than say, bash or zsh.
> Why are terminals always stuck in the 70s? Can I get a modern terminal?
We do have a modern terminal: the web browser... and it's pretty nice.
There have been a ton of tries at more modern terminals, but ultimately, they end up really being limited by the software running in the terminal session. In the 90s we had a ton of commercial terminal emulators that would allow you to create full guis, complete with dialogs and forms. In the 00's there were a few tries at terminals that would allow html output and embedding of html forms for input (can't remember the names of them). I suppose there's also the whole X11 thing... which is so good enough that it's really hard to kill.
Let's get back to character mode:
A lot of interactive terminal software is built using different libraries - so sometimes you get a terminal gui based on ncurses, terminal.gui, or something else... here's a list: https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis#libraries. Most of these libraries try to use most of the features in your terminal emulator, but often, just use stuff that is in everything.
For command line programs (i.e. just type a command), a lot of the experience is dictated by the parser used by the tool and whatever the underlying operating system has for passing arguments. Some shells and terminal emulators (like iTerm2 on mac) try to smooth this out, but again, there's a lot of variety in command line parsers.
Probably the biggest modern improvement in the shell world was gettext and various command-line completion libraries which allows command parameter completion if the developer supports it or uses a parser that supports completion. But none of this is the terminal itself doing the work.

DIY nas,suggestions for how to have an OLED screen like qnap showing space available, current IP,etc
Haven't done much in grafana but probably use that to constantly output to a small display. Depending on if you want to install a display server... Seems like there are lots of options, maybe grafterm is what you're looking for: https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis

What can you do in a terminal?
Check out this list of great TUI projects if you really want to see what terminal only is capable of.

Are there any TUI apps you recommend outside of ncdu / nnn / htop / vim / bat / fd / tig / duf?
Here's a good list

What's the most beautifully designed TUI-app you've used?
Have a browse at the awesome-tui list and in the reddit search bar: this question is asked quite often and there are already plenty of answers :)

[Possibly OT] Is there a list of command-line versions of any Unix/Linux GUI applications?
https://github.com/toolleeo/cli-apps and https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis? Though it doesn't mention a specific GUI apps (eg, Lynx is under either Web Browser or Web on those lists), and it's just lists, no actual comparison or review etc. I usually found AlternativeTo to be somewhat decent start to see what features and alternatives I can expect across platform.

arrows in C
For instance, for terminal input you may want to have a look at https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis, where you will find many terminal user interface libraries (and other examples). I would suggest imtui and fxtui from the libraries section. You may also want to use classic ncurses, as others have suggested.
ripgrep-all
- Ripgrep-all: rga: ripgrep, but also search PDFs, E-Books, Office documents, zip
-
Ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, Git grep, ucg, pt, sift}
I searched in portage, and it seems there is another version working also with other documents like PDFs and doc.

Calibre – New in Calibre 7.0
If you want even faster search across different formats, you can try ripgrep-all ( https://github.com/phiresky/ripgrep-all ). It can search across epub, docx, pdf, zip, mp4 etc. If you are handy with the tool, you can write custom adaptor to search across images using OCR with tesseract.
- Rga: Ripgrep, but also search in PDF, ebooks, office documents, zip, tar.gz etc.

Show HN: Khoj – Chat Offline with Your Second Brain Using Llama 2
1. If you want better adoption especially among corporations, GPL-3 wont cut it. Maybe think of some business friendly licenses (MIT etc)
2. I understand the excitement about llm's. But how about making something more accessible. I use rip-grep-all (rga) along with fzf [1] that can search all files including pdfs in a specific folders. However, I would like a GUI tool to search across multiple folders, provide priority of results across folders and store and search histories where I can do a meta-search. This is sufficient for 95% of my usecases to search locally and I dont need LLM. If khoj can enable such search as default without LLM that will be a gamechanger for many people without a heavy compute machine or who dont want to use OpenAI.

How to make file paths clickable?
I use `rga` to search through multiple PDF files for work. The tool returns a list of files and I would like to make those file paths clickable.

Is there a way to searching multiple epub and pdf?
rga, aka ripgrep-all

I wanted to say 'au contrer' to your 'screenshots are not searchable' and link this[0] but I don't actually see images in the readme.. I swear it was there, maybe it's a buried extra flag..
