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.
Considering that whenever I am gaming, the game is using all the VRAM it can, I’d rather not have more stuff be GPU accelerated. CPU cores are mostly freely available.
Since my tasks on the terminal are pretty basic, the runtime speeds don’t matter much.
In another use case, Kitty is much faster at startup than Konsole, most probably because of plugins, shared libraries, d-bus actions, etc. but then Kitty cannot beat
stand its extra features are not particularly needed by me.So yeah, perhaps if you can get st working in your setup, that might be a nice experience. Although that one would have other problems:
There might be some project trying to get a Wayland version of a st-like terminal emulator, which might work out for you.
