dwm-flexipatch VS extraterm

However, if I were to implement something like 15+ patches then i would just use flexi patch to quickly apply patches - https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch.

I posted an issue with flexipatch's savefloats patch https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/issues/362 which I believe to be a bug in the way the patch is supposed to handle layout switching.

Check out dwm-flexipatch!

And if you want a quick way to install patches then you should checkout u/bakkeby 's https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch.

do yourself a favor and use https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch ... patching with much less trouble

and i would recommend to use dwm-flexipatch, it makes the hole patching process very easy, and you can try out all the patches...

I just wanted to add that if anyone is experiencing this issue and using dwm-flexipatch then enabling the patch BAR_NO_COLOR_EMOJI_PATCH may solve the issue.

if your not scared of changing basic C files the most lightweight you’ll get is probably dwm, try out this to more easily patch dwm if you do decide to use it.

a lot of functionality can be added with patches, but you have to try and juggle those all yourself (and work out any conflicts between them yourself) - there are some projects like dwm-flexipatch to try and make it easier to deal with them, but it's way more trouble than I am interested in

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 spreading around.

Extraterm is very similar in style to what you are asking. I recommend the Qt version.

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.)

Windows Terminal, Tabby, ExtraTerm

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.

May I plug my terminal Extraterm . :-)

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.

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.
