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

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.

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.

Video stops on furst frame, audio continues to play,seek works
I apologise for not following procedure. I am in the middle of building mpv 0.37 from source. Irrespective of the outcome I will document what I had to do in addition to the instructions on mpv.io and if the problem perststs, where it happens and where not with kernel version, mpv version taken from the screen, and the terminal output.

Use MPV. Partticularily shinchiro's builds. Extract the folder where you want its installation directory to be, if you decide to install it. Otherwise, just drag and drop files on top of its window or executable.

Ripgrep is faster than {grep, ag, Git grep, ucg, pt, sift}
Author of ripgrep here.
Like automatic encoding detection and transparently searching UTF-16?
Or simple ways for composing character classes, e.g., `[\pL&&\p{Greek}]` for all codepoints in the Greek script that are letters. Another favorite of mine is `\P{ascii}`, which will search for any codepoint that isn't in the ASCII subset.
Or more sophisticated filtering features that let you automatically respect things like gitignore rules.
Those are all things that ripgrep does that grep does not. So I do not favor this explanation personally.
ripgrep has just about all of the functionality that GNU grep does. I would say the two biggest missing pieces at this point are:
* POSIX locale support. (But this might be a feature[1].)
* Support for "basic" regexes or some equivalent that flips the escaping rules around. i.e., You need to write `\+` to match 1 or more things, where as `+` will just match `+ literally.
Otherwise, ripgrep has unfortunately grown just about as many flags as GNU grep.
