Contour: Modern and Fast Terminal Emulator
- you can also rectangular select like in vim, and then press either p (includes LF) or which joins the multiline clipboard text into a single line (removing LF's), that payed off a lot for output like `git status` and wanting to operate on parts of the output (files e.g.)
Have a look at the still young website's documentation here: https://contour-terminal.org/input-modes/#supported-text-obj...
for a more complete look of what you can do with the keyboard (normal mode) :)

GNOME’s horrid coding practices
Also, regarding VTE, the author of termite (discontinued terminal emulator) expressed similar concerns about the GNOME devs. Apparently, they have little interest in making the library useful to people not working on GNOME apps: https://github.com/thestinger/termite

Help me to find a minimal terminal that supports full transparency
Termite is obsolete by Alacritty.

Why are kitty and alacritty so popular? Where's the foot love?
I simply do not want to use anything libvte based. And that's what sakura is and termite used to be.

Exploring System76's New Rust Based Desktop Environment
History and experience tells a different story [1]. Never trust a library that is maintained by GNOME.

System76: A Case Study on How Not To Collaborate With Upstream
This post by the Termite developer, with respect to VTE, is quite instructive

Show HN: Sixel-tmux displays graphics even if your terminal has no Sixel support
> https://github.com/thestinger/termite/blob/master/README.rst...
Wow, this confirms a lot of my impressions:
>> In 2012, we submitted a tiny patch exposing the APIs needed for the keyboard text selection, hints mode and other features. Despite support from multiple other projects, the patch was rejected. It's now almost a decade later and no progress has been made. There is no implementation of these kinds of features in VTE and it's unlikely they'll be provided either internally or as flexible APIs. This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to their hostility towards other projects using VTE as a library. GTK and most of the GNOME project are much of the same. Avoid them and don't make the mistake of thinking their libraries are meant for others to use.
This is exactly why sixel-tmux exists as a separate entity!
> Yeah, I read the entire conversation and if sixel support lands in tmux upstream, it would indeed be good news.
I'll keep my fingers crossed, but right now, there seems to be a lot of good will. I will do everything I can.

Rust GUI Development?
GTK: I have little - no experience with GTK, and from what i have read it is cross-platform similar to wxWidgets, however is an emulated UI system similar to Qt. As i have no experience with it i am not sure how well supported this library is as far as it's Rust - bindings are concerned gtk-rs

gtk-rs: can't get window ID with command inside connect_show or connect_realize
In a gtk-rs application, I'm running a xdotool command to get the id of the application's window. I'm running the command in a connect_show closure (after the window has been shown):

My (challenging) experience building a window switcher for Ubuntu
To build the UI, I used gtk-rs. My experience with this library was quite pleasant; it was easy to use and there were a lot of examples. However, it isn't as widely used as, say, React, so it was difficult to find answer on Stack Overflow (I come from a JavaScript/Typescript background).

x11rs can't access window created with gtk-rs
I'm using x11rb to interact with a window created with gtk-rs. window_id is the ID of the window created with gtk-rs. window_id_2 is the ID of the window created with x11rb (for testing purposes).

What GUI libs are out there and good to use?
I haven't used it yet, but gtk-rs looks pretty good too. I've used GTK in general, just not the Rust bindings so far. The tutorials seem nice and GTK is a good UI toolkit overall.

Adding ListBoxRow to ListBox from inside a closure
I'm using gtk-rs to add ListBoxRow items to a ListBox. The items are successfully added if I do it outside of input.connect_changed, a closure. But nothing is added if I do it from inside input.connect_changed:

gtk-ks: Join the Effort to create GTK Bindings for Kotlin!
Out there there are already some open source projects trying to do this, but most of them are abandoned or in a very alpha stage. The most promising project so far seems to me git-kt. This project is trying to do something similar to what gtk-rs does for Rust, which is using GObject Introspection (GIR) files to generate Kotlin native bindings automatically.
