extraterm VS Tabby

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.

I would be using Tabby Terminal.

tabby.sh - design, features

iTerm2 is a great terminal for macOS. I use it extensively every day. Despite that, I would gladly try out other terminals because it's fun and because I'm always open to finding something superior to even the great tools I use.

That said, there is exactly 1 feature that seems to only exist in iTerm2, and until another terminal emulator appears that has it, I'm staying put: tmux control mode.

I've found Tabby does a good job and is Cross-Platform to you can use on Windows too. It can run any installed shell, serial connections and ssh. You can create profiles. It needs some work to be fully functional in Wayland i.e. Autohide feature doesn't work. But that's a graphical issue. Though, if you're just after creating and organising SSH profiles not terminal emulation, Remmina already has you covered. SSH, RDP and VNC.
