So, I’m looking for a new terminal, there’s a few glitches with yakuake (not dropping down on main monitor anymore, sometimes when I paste in too much text it gets all buggy) and there’s some new features I want from it I found in tabby (basically, different themes in different tabs to help orient me faster and avoid issues)
Tabby’s shortcut to dock and hide and reappear leads it to disappearing the window, not coming back, and continuing to run several processes. Also, it’s really heavy. (electron based?)
I want something that’s light and usually disappears without remaining on my task manager (system tray is ok) , unrolls and disappears at a single keyboard shortcut, has multiple tabs, and I can choose whatever colour scheme I want per tab.
Ideally, I will have a list of colour schemes , and each tab will choose the next colour scheme to move to.
Also, generic terminal preference discussion, shoutout, etc thread.
Edit: for some reason people think I want themes, which I know all terminals I’ve used support. It’s different themes per tab
Also I don’t care if it does tiling or not. If it does it, sure , whatever, but I don’t use that feature in terminals.


I’ve used Terminator for a while but I admit it’s usually got a bug somewhere - sometimes my profiles disappear, lately I can’t highlight text while new output is happening. But I like splits and tabs and profiles and mouse focus and it has those so I haven’t really shopped around.
