I'm not an electron hater, but a terminal in electron sounds like a parody.

"built on an open web framework...."

hard pass then. Why the hell would I want to open a browser instance for a terminal???

Unfortunately this terminal emulator uses electron, but otherwise looks nice

No Zsh support for now, and maybe no user fonts?

it's got telemetry on by default.

Very, very hard pass. Might even blow out my suspension doing so

Quickly edit code on a local or remote machine with the same editor that powers VSCode.

so it's vscode, but not. you can just install an extention to get remote abilities.

I … Wha…. WHY??

Wezterm or death. I would have chosen Alacritty, if pasting in Vim wasn't broken.

I’ll have a look to this, a VScode editor like for remote can be handful sometime

so... vscode? you can install an extention for remote connections (made by MS)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago
