eddy VS terminal

Just wanted to point out a small discrepancy in your comment, Eddy is not Pop specific. Eddy was actually made for ElementaryOS as shown of the author's GitHub. System76 just includes it with Pop!_OS, probably because it makes a good companion to the ElementaryOS AppCenter which is what the Pop!_Shop essentially is but with some tweaks. Also you can run Eddy on any Ubuntu based system but you would have to build it from source yourself.

That means that I've been actively using it for about 8 years now! Back then it was the only Linux-based OS that was lightweight enough for my old Asus laptop not to overheat.

It's the little things that make me always back to it:

- If I've made a selection in terminal, Ctrl+C will copy it. If there's no selection, it will kill the process as usual.

- Simple math directly from the launcher without the need to open calculator. Just press meta key, type the calculation, see the result. I wish it did more than that, but I'm using a third-party launcher for that stuff (ulauncher.io).

- Fuzzy search in the app launcher. I'm quite annoyed that I have to type "fire" in the launcher in every other OS I've tried to start Firefox. In elementary OS, I can do "ffox", "ffx", or anything resembling what I'm looking for, and Firefox will pop up.

Overall the system just gets out of my way and lets me launch apps quickly and navigate between them with breeze, which is precisely what I'm looking for in an OS. There's also a couple of third-party apps specifically designed for it that I absolutely love, most notably Planner (https://planner-todo.web.app/) and Eddy (https://github.com/donadigo/eddy).

Congrats on the awesome decade team! I hope for many more successful ones and can't wait for the v6 to be ready for my laptop!

https://github.com/elementary/terminal notifies you when a process completes and the terminal is not the active window. I implemented this feature way back in... 2014 or so. I'm surprised it has seen little uptake in other terminals, but I can't imagine working with long-running processes without it nowadays.

Please file issue reports and open feature requests on GitHub so they can be tracked and the dev team is made aware: https://github.com/elementary/terminal/issues

Some terminals have that feature built-in (I think its called 'natural copy and paste'). For example, this one has it.

This is planned and just needs some design work and then to be implemented. The current code for style schemes I'm Terminal and Code both are pretty complicated to support arbitrary styles under the hood, so it will also likely need some rewriting of that whole system. You can see a previous attempt at it from me here, though a more experienced desktop developer could probably clean it up a lot: https://github.com/elementary/terminal/pull/546

Although it doesn't fully resolve the problem you explained, there is a PR for custom palettes -- https://github.com/elementary/terminal/pull/542 -- but it doesn't seem to have been merged into the mainline at all, likely due to the upcoming dark mode stuff in elementaryOS 6.0.

One of the things I like about elementary is the care taken with UX. For instance, for less experienced users pasting random commands in the terminal is a sensitive operation, specially if these commands involve administrative privileges. For this reason, elementary's terminal app shows a warning when the user pastes commands involving sudo or with newlines.

This is actually something we're addressing in Terminal for elementary OS 6. You can check this pull request to see our discussion and the end result: https://github.com/elementary/terminal/pull/527
