It's opinionated, which comes with upsides and downsides. I won't blame the maintainer to keep things focused, feature creep (even for worthy features) can kill a FOSS project.
Another example is sixel support, there's a fork where it all works but is not sufficiently "proven" (code quality just as well as sixel being the best fit for the problem)

It may be annoying but I get the reasoning, and there are other terminals.
I am using iTerm2 on my macOS. Other available options are Hyper and VS Code’s inbuilt terminal, which I sometimes use for quick tests. You can open a terminal in VS Code by using the keyboard shortcut CMD + J or CTRL + J on Windows, or View → Terminal.

Also typometer based measurements also on Linux. Shrug.

Project mention: Any fun/interesting custom scripts or services being ran on your setup? | /r/homelab | 2023-05-16I do everything through a web browser -- I run an Arch VM with a modified version of ttyd running as a systemd service.
A terminal had to change the name from Terminix to Tilix due to trademark issues, even though one is a terminal and the other is a pest killer.

* The terminal emulator is a fork of Darktile (https://github.com/liamg/darktile) with very few changes.
This is not a SaaS. You download code and run the front- and back-end yourself, like ssh/sshd. (Except it doesn't run as root.)
This is a commercial product. Without a license, the app limits you to a single top-level window, with two shell tabs. (Similar to a single iTerm window with two tabs.) With a license, as many windows and tabs as you like.
I'm looking for any kind of feedback whatsoever, positive or negative, from the app itself, to the documentation and other online information, to this very post.
hucksh is currently available for macOS and Linux.

TermKit was one of the inspirations for Extraterm ( https://extraterm.org/ ). It separates command output, allows for reuse of previous output, as well mixing content types.
The terminal VSCode has been picking up on these kinds of features lately. Now they can even "sticky" the previous command line at the top of the window when scrolling through long output.
It has taken a long time, but these ideas are slowing spreading around.
Project mention: Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-31Another problem is that the cursor moves while the screen is buffer is being rendered. The location is only really known once the cursor settles in the same place for some time, which is unacceptable in terms of latency.
The synchronized output extension could be used to do this, though. https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour/blob/master/docs...

I'll also plug https://github.com/Hamza417/Inure#readme (GPLv3) which I have enjoyed quite a bit for shipping .apks off my phone and some exploratory work similar to the article but less "hand roll"-y
