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 tried the various quake menus over the years and while I love the functionality, I dislike the instability. I’ll be honest in that I never seem to resolve the issues other than via new profiles, etc. but some bugs/glitches seem to just come and go. like some sessions the hot key doesn’t bring it down. like why, key, that’s your only job here. hehe
having said that, I’ve never heard of tabby so gonna check it out, thanks!
