files VS terminal

This feature is rarely seen in Linux file managers. I would recommend the CLI file manager ranger. If you need a GUI tool, you should have a look at pantheon files, the file manager of ElementaryOS.

There's Pantheon Files, but it doesn't come anywere close to having as many features as MacOS's file manager. It's a pity that the Dolphin Miller plugin was discontinued. :c

I think that on elementary OS the Files app is already used as a base for the native file chooser. You could follow it as an example. All its code is on GitHub: https://github.com/elementary/files Specifically check out the filechooser-portal directory.

I very like Elementary but I can't use it because of one bug: https://github.com/elementary/files/issues/1884 It is really important for me.

There is already a PR waiting to solve this bug. I hope they release an update soon.

ElementaryOS file browser has that https://github.com/elementary/files

thanks!, is reported https://github.com/elementary/files/issues/1929

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
