  • I generally agree with you.

    The input works more like a normal text editor (including mouse support) and has in-built completions, syntax highlighting, and support for multiple-cursors.

    If you actually want those features, that’s your shell’s job. Not your terminal emulator. And presumably if you need these fancy features you’ll just use a normal text editor to make a shell script.

    I, personally, would like to see a terminal / shell / whatever with support of standard, modern text input: CTRL + Arrows to skip words, CTRL + SHIFT + Arrows to select whole words, deleting all of selected text etc. I find it baffling that the terminal – the main text input of my system – uses a different way of text input than any other text field.
