  • iTerm2 v3.5.1 moves AI features into external plugin
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Jun 2024
    The correct response to false allegations followed by insults and threats is anything but to admit it. The software in question is a popular free and open source software that has more than a decade of trust. It's maintained by a single developer in his spare time. It's a feature that fundamentally requires the user to actively engage with in order to use it [1], with no nagging or coercion whatsoever. In fact, the only people reminding us of its existence are the Mastodon mobs, not iTerm.

    The feature wasn't added out of pure hype either. It was likely inspired by user feedback [2], and the dev ultimately added it because it was useful for him personally [3].

    Despite all of this, people are raging about unprovable nefarious motives and making claims about spyware, as if it's Windows. Some are even openly fantasizing about physical violence.

    This kind of behavior should be condemned, not praised.

  • iTerm 3.5.1 lets you opt out of OpenAI integration
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Jun 2024
    > iTerm 3.5.1 removes automatic OpenAI integration, requires opt-in

    This is an editorialized title. It was opt-in from the very beginning. Here's all the steps that was originally required:

    1. Open settings, go to the General tab, click on the AI button.

    2. Enter a paid API key

    3. Close the settings

    4. Click "Toolbelt" on the menu bar, and click on "Codecierge"

    5. Click "Toolbelt" on the menu bar again, and click "Show toolbelt"

    6. In the toolbelt, there's a textbox that you can type questions into. The textbox won't be shown if you didn't enter an API key. Only after submitting the question will the OpenAI integration be activated.

    https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/blob/a3122c0100d8900a15cb...

    The initial implementation already took many many clicks to run. I literally had to do nothing to not use the feature and not once was I reminded about the feature after I chose to ignore it.

    Despite that, people were spreading rumors that entering an invalid API key would instantly cause iTerm to send all data to OpenAI. It's a straight up lie started by people who actually tested the feature and posted their findings the GitLab thread about this feature.

    https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/11475

    https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/11470

    People in the GitLab thread were calling for dogpiles and fantasizing about inflicting violence on Mastodon. Towards the sole maintainer of a popular free and open source software developed in his spare time.

    Some of the things you see online... I have no words.

  • iTerm2 removes AI feature from core, creates separate plugin
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 23 May 2024
    I'd suggest everyone go read the issue thread (https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/11470) before commenting.

    It seems abundantly clear that people are being overly negative about a feature that realistically has no security concerns (even as originally developed). Many commenters did not even know how the feature worked (assumed all keystrokes were being sent by default, etc...)

    One outright said that the feature should be removed because the developer must "stand against OpenAI and the whole "AI" industry."

    To me this just seems like a lot of people whining and trying to inject politics and unfounded safety concerns into a good implementation of something that many people like. This is an opt-in feature. It has a separate panel to even interact with it. And you need to provide a valid openai API key to use it.

    No, that's not how the plugin works. It sends context to ChatGPT telling it to return a single command that is copy/pasteable. The plugin does no filtering of the results. You can literally read the code for yourself:

    Totally.

    There are clear explanations in the release notes and the wiki entry linked from the relevant place in the preference pane [1]. The full release note is displayed before updating. There are numerous comments explaining how it's impossible to accidentally enable the feature. It's opt-in, you have to input an paid API key, you can even use a offline modal instead, and the data it sends are totally customizable and by default limited to the output of "uname" and the prompt you explicitly enter.

    Yet people ignore all of that

    iTerm2 is featureful yet solid, constantly improved, doesn't work against the user, and is free. I've submitted patches before and the author was nice and responsive. The AI feature is minimal, non-intrusive, and doesn't advertise its existence once you decided not to opt in. It's thankless work even without HN piling on and the author deserves much better.

    What terminal emulator are you using? I have noticed that the latest release of iterm2 has problems rendering glyphs (see this discussion and links therein). I too am having problems displaying any nerd font icon due to the aforementioned.

  • How would I get the name of the program running in the window that zellij run was ran in?
    2 projects | /r/zellij | 27 Nov 2023
    I'm a tmux migrant and wanted functionality similar to tmux-navigator for vim. In short, it lets me bind the same key combination to change vim splits and tmux scripts that either switch panes or forward the input to the vim plugin that does one of the other. Say you have an empty pane, a pane with vim with two splits and a third pane pane all in a line. The first time the user wants to move focus, vim is not running so the script simply moves focus in tmux. The scond time the user presses the bind, it's passed to vim and the vim plugin sees you have a split to move to so you move focus between splits. The third press the plugin realizes that there are no more panes, so it moves you to the final tmux pane.

    There's also a vim plugin that applies the same idea but with vim windows and tmux panes: https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator.

    Since you're using Tmux check out vim-tmux-navigator which allows for seamless navigation between tmux and (neo)vim panes.

    For example, the killer plugin in tmux for me would be vim-tmux-navigator which allows you to switch seemlessly between Vim and tmux. The reason why you would want this is because tmux is a better option than using Vim's built-in terminal.

    With https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator I don't see the need to use Neovim's terminal. Neovim's terminal somehow seems slower and my terminal keybindings didn't quite work.

    Might I suggest tmux? You'd get all you needed and there is a nice plugin https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator that lets you set up a single layer of movement keys (i use ctrl-h/j/k/l) to move around between both nvim splits and tmux splits.
  • using nvim + tmux
    6 projects | /r/neovim | 10 Jan 2023
    To begin, you should check out tmux plugins manger/tpm, which will feel pretty familiar if you're used to working with nvim plugins. Once you have that up and running you can plug vim-tmux-navigator, which allows you to move smoothly through tmux and nvim panes using ctrl-h/j/k/l. There are various other tmux plugins that are super-useful for customizing your tmux workspace.
