Plotinus: A searchable command palette in every modern GTK+ application
This code seems to be pretty hacky, it works by injecting a dynamic library into the program and then looping on a timeout to rescan every window and attach a key handler: https://github.com/p-e-w/plotinus/blob/master/src/Keybinder....

Plotinus: A searchable command palette in every modern GTK+ application\ (10 comments)
- What are your thoughts on having the application menu on the titlebar?

Global Menu
Sublime Text is actually a good example showing that the menubar and the command palette are two unrelated things. Sublime Text implements its own command palette, which has nothing to do with the global menu on macOS. A lot of apps do the exact same thing. I don't know why people insist on tying these two features together. You can even get menubar-less GTK apps a command palette with the GTK module Plotinus, without ever having to see a menubar.

The Bun Shell
I agree. I’ve written about this before but this is what murex (1) does. It reimplements some of coreutils where there are benefits in doing so (eg sed, grep etc -like parsing of lists that are in formats other than flat lines of text. Such as JSON arrays)
Mutex does this by having these utilities named slightly different to their POSIX counterparts. So you can use all of the existing CLI tools completely but additionally have a bunch of new stuff too.
Far too many alt shells these days try to replace coreutils and that just creates friction in my opinion.

Jaq – A jq clone focused on correctness, speed, and simplicity
This is exactly what Murex shell does. It has lots of builtin tools for querying structured data (of varying formats) but also supports POSIX pipes for using existing tools like `jq` et al seamlessly too.

The Case for Nushell
Stable is a problem because a lot of these shells don’t offer any guarantees for breaking changes.
My own shell, https://github.com/lmorg/murex is committed to backwards compatibility but even here, there are occasional changes made that might break backwards compatibility. Though I do push back on such changes as much as possible, to the extent that most of my scripts from 5 years ago still run unmodified.

Nushell.sh ls – where size > 10mb – –sort-by modified
This is similar to how my shell works. It still just passes bytes around but additionally passes information about how those bytes could be interpreted. A schema if you will. So it works as cleanly with POSIX / GNU / et al tools as it does with fancy JSON, YAML, CSV and other document formats.
It basically sits somewhere between Powershell and Bash: typed pipelines like Powershell but without sacrificing familiarity with all the CLI commands you already use day in and day out.

As an aside, I’m about to drop a massive update in the next few days that will make the shell even more intuitive to use.
