Show HN: Rust+Svelte=Terminal
Link to project:
https://github.com/iondodon/manter
This project aims to create a terminal with functionalities that improve the experience of using terminals. Examples of useful functionalities would be autocomplete suggestion, showing the current branch of a project, prepared scripts that can be reused, and others. You can come up with your ideas. The project uses technologies such as Svelte on the front-end, which offers flexibility regarding the implementation of the interface. On the back-end side, the most important part is the PTY. All the back end is implemented in Rust. The basic framework of the project is Tauri.
At the moment the terminal has suggestions only for some commands (cd, ls). To support more commands it is needed to add them in the Manter's "library" located at src/cli/library/library.ts. It is possible to have custom script based suggestions. For example if we write in the terminal “git checkout” and after we press Space, a dropdown will appear with all available branches.
A good analogy to understand the purpose of this project is the following - traditional terminals are like simple code editors while this terminal is like an IDE.
Anyone is welcome to contribute to this project with and ideas. Imagine the terminal you would like to use. Feel free to open any issue with suggestions and bugs.

Terminal with autocomplete suggestion built with Tauri
Terminal built with Tauri (Rust+Svelte).
I got this idea of creating a terminal that is more user friendly having autocomplete suggestions. I couldn’t create a suggestions engine that would work for all commands. But I defined a structure (a state machine in src/cli/library/library.ts) that can be used to determine the next suggestions. The good part with this approach is that it is possible to have custom script based suggestions. For example if we write in the terminal “git checkout” and after we press Space, a dropdown will appear with all available branches. The bad part is that it will take some time to add more supported commands in this “library”.
Another feature is that in the bottom bar of the terminal we can have custom script based information. In .manter.json we can define a script that will generate this information. The script will be executed each time the prompt appears.
On the front-end are used web technologies which offer a flexibility to add any feature and style that we want.

What's everyone working on this week (2/2023)?
I'm working on my new open-source project Manter (cross-platform terminal). Learning Rust by building software.

Carapace: A multi-shell completion library and binary
Completion for program P should be written and maintained by the "owner" of program P - and installed with program P. This is of course difficult when there are many different "shells" that each have their own "language" for specifying completions. A multi-shell completion library can help with this problem.
To me it make sense that completion for program P should be handled by program P itself. That way, completions are unlikely to get out of sync with the application, and the completion handler can use the same option parser as the application. A way to do this is to use a special "hidden" switch to request completion.
Specifically the DomTerm terminal emulator (https://domterm.org) handles its own completions. Bash allows you to register a command that handles completions for some other command. The following tells bash that to handle completions for the domterm command it should call domterm with the magic "#complete-for-bash" option followed by the existing line and position.
complete -o nospace -C 'domterm "#complete-for-bash" "$COMP_LINE" "$COMP_POINT"' domterm

VT330/VT340 Sixel Graphics
Sixel has the one advantage of being mplemented in xterm and a modest number of other terminals. Otherwise, it's a pretty bad format: Inefficient. Unclear and inconsistently implemented specification. All images have to be a multiple fof 6 pixel rows, which may not align with either image height or character height.
Some terminal implement some other protocols, but attempts to specify a standard have failed. There are some tricky issues, such as: When does an image or part of an image get erased? Can you write text on top of an image and if so how are they aligned? What happens if you write an image on top of existing text? On top of an existing image? How does scrolling affect things? What happens to the image on window resize or zoom? Can you reliably update part of an image?
DomTerm (https://domterm.org) supports images in two ways:

Show HN: Rust+Svelte=Terminal
If interested in enhanced terminals, please take a look at DomTerm (https://domterm.org). It too optionally uses Tauri/Wry, though it can also also Electron, Qt, or a plain web-browser. You can embed images and rich text among other feayrures. DomTerm also has builtin tmux-like panes+tabs (mouse-draggable), detachable sessions, and a powerful "view" (selection) mode.

Solved: mouse click to position cursor in konsole
bash-preexec.sh and shell-integration.bash are copied from another terminal called DomTerm (that also offers click to position cursor) into ~/.local/share/DomTerm. Those files can be found here.

Mosh 1.4.0 Released
For people using or considering Mosh or Eternal Terminal: I'd love if you could try DomTerm (https://domterm.org). Specifically DomTerm's support for stable remote connections - see https://domterm.org/Remoting-over-ssh.html .

Ask HN: Is it still possible to live in a terminal?
DomTerm (https://domterm.org) isn't quite what you asked for: It only indirectly has a JavaScript console: Since its frontend is a browser engine, you can open up a JavaScript debugger.

TermKit: A Rich Graphical Terminal (2011)
DomTerm (https://domterm.org) attempts to provide similar possibilities as TermKit. However, it starts with the position that it should also (and perhaps first) be a fully-functional modern mostly-xterm-compatible terminal emulator. On top of that we add rich html text, images, logical structure, "shell integrayion", and more.

Using tree data structures to implement terminal split panes
DomTerm (https://domterm.org) uses the Golden Layout library (https://github.com/golden-layout/golden-layout). As far as I can tell, this does everything mentioned in the article. It also supports tabs, and you can also reposition terminal windows by dragging, neither of which I saw mentioned in the article. (I'm currently working on being able to drag between top-level windows. It sort-of-works, but only at the proof-of-concept level.)

Terminal support for Emoji – or why terminals don't like families
Please try DomTerm (https://domterm.org). The 2.9.4 AppImage (https://github.com/PerBothner/DomTerm/releases/tag/2.9.4) should have the needed support for grapheme clusters and hopefully work on reasonably up-to-date Linux systems. Of course there are more recent fixes and improvements if you don't mind building from source.
