terminator VS Geany

Until recently, my answer would have been Terminator. Recently, however, the lack of support for OSC52 and the fact that the workarounds don't always work reliably has been bothering me more and more. Based on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/2495, it is quite unlikely that VTE (and therefore Terminator) will ever support OSC52.

For terminal software, I really enjoy using Terminator, because it allows me to spawn several tiled terminals in a single window, with a custom arrangement that can expand and shrink easily.

I use Terminator as terminal emulator and ZSH as shell.

Using a Terminal Emulator with native support for split panes (Examples: Terminator)

I use the ZSH as a shell with its own configuration. As terminal emulator I use Terminator. From my personal point of view I don't need anything more modern.

You might want to at least use a code editor with syntax highlighting so that it gets a little easier to read the code. Personally I use Geany but there are many other ones you can use.

Open https://www.geany.org/ in a web browser like chrome or firefox

Check out Geany. It is free, open source, cross platform, and lightweight. It has support for dozens of coding languages. LINK: https://www.geany.org/

I still enjoy Geany. It is lacking certain features I could do with, but it's joyful to use something that light: https://www.geany.org/

When I installed my IDE I just wanted something lightweight, so I went with Geany. I've been using it for years without trouble.

I would say, try out geany: https://www.geany.org/
