I don't know how they picked the name for this new terminal, maybe it's a reference.

It is very good, and I am currently using it. I don't like its dependencies on GTK stuff, the developer is a little picky about what to support, and I dislike the +options style. Other than that, 👍 .

Also great: Wezterm, Konsole, Rio. I'm excitedly following Rio's development, which has a much smaller dependency list, and hopping back and forth between it and Ghostty/Wezterm. But it's still got some things to iron out and features to develop.

It's been a while, but my clumsy adding of a comment to the buffer is unnecessary, given zle -M, which will display a message outside of the buffer. So here's an updated version:

 bash

    
# -- Run input if single line, otherwise insert newline --
# Key: enter
# Credit: https://programming.dev/comment/2479198
.zle_accept-except-multiline () {
  if [[ $BUFFER != *$'\n'* ]] {
    zle .accept-line
    return
  } else {
    zle .self-insert-unmeta
    zle -M 'Use alt+enter to submit this multiline input'
  }
}
zle -N       .zle_accept-except-multiline
bindkey '^M' .zle_accept-except-multiline  # Enter

# -- Run input if multiline, otherwise insert newline --
# Key: alt+enter
# Credit: https://programming.dev/comment/2479198
.zle_accept-only-multiline () {
  if [[ $BUFFER == *$'\n'* ]] {
    zle .accept-line
  } else {
    zle .self-insert-unmeta
  }
}
zle -N         .zle_accept-only-multiline
bindkey '^[^M' .zle_accept-only-multiline  # Enter

  

If you choose to give Fedora a try, I recommend Ultramarine, which has more set up from the start, including their "Terrs" repository with more updated packages.

Ah yes you can tell by the post title:

best linux terminal emulator

Oh, is that #4948?

For me: Wezterm. It does pretty much everything. I don't think Alacritty/Kitty etc. offer anything over it for my usage, and the developer is a pleasure to engage with.

Second place is Konsole -- it does a lot, is easy to configure, and obviously integrates nicely with KDE apps.

Honorable mention is Extraterm, which has been working on cool features for a long time, and is now Qt based.

Just note that the comment was inaccurate, in that their weird encryption is indeed open source at least.

I suggest trying this one for Zsh, over the more common one: https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlighting

As someone else said, setting less' jump value is helpful.

Another tool I use, mostly for the zshall manpage, is https://github.com/kristopolous/mansnip

mpv+uosc is my jam these days.

No, that's not used by Zsh.

Glad you have it working. This may also work:

    
_stfu () {
  shift words
  (( CURRENT-=1 ))
  _normal -P
}
compdef _stfu stfu

  

FWIW I've read an Arch dev complain that folks using any 3rd party installer are not in fact "running Arch" and should not claim to be doing so.

Huh? Is this relevant, or some kind of bot spam?

For anyone else wondering:

Navidrome is an open source web-based music collection server and streamer. It gives you freedom to listen to your music collection from any browser or mobile device. It's like your personal Spotify!

So far, this isn't much of anything.

Telegram already closes public channels reported for copyright violations.

Some excerpts from this post:

Compared to other platforms, we do not see the seriousness of Telegram to cooperate.

. . .

In May 2023, progress appeared to be going in the wrong direction. Telegram was reportedly refusing to cooperate with the Ministry of Communications and Digital on the basis it did not wish to participate in any form of politically-related censorship.

. . .

With no obviously public comment from Telegram on the matter, it’s hard to say how the social platform views its end of what appears to be an informal agreement.

Telegram will be acutely aware, however, that whatever it gives, others will demand too. That may ultimately limit Telegram’s response, whatever it may be, whenever it arrives – if it even arrives at all.

Congrats on all the labor you saved.

If you think folks here are uniquely unreasonable you could try lemmy.world/c/selfhosted .

On the off chance that you truly don't understand:

The nice thing to do would be to accept the feedback and add a short description. It's confusing to others why you are staunchly opposed to performing that small courtesy, and instead jump to never posting here again.

The window shade problem is keeping me from Wayland. AFAIU there's currently no commitment to ever fix it on Wayland, it's only a maybe.

For anyone interested, it's being tracked here.
