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Termite is obsolete by Alacritty.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.

History and experience tells a different story [1]. Never trust a library that is maintained by GNOME.

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.

> it feels more like a toy at the moment
It's not! Gnuplot in the terminal open many new use cases, such as examining data on remote hosts with scripts without even bothering to scp the data first.
Also, Notebooks in the terminal is wonderful!
