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 am not a developer, but I can definitely tell you that “native” apps tend to work a lot better when the system is under pressure (a complex video upscaling task in the background) and have better system integration and consistency.
FreeTube is a solid electron app, but they are cloning a desktop page (YT) so that makes things a lot easier on the UI/UX front. Performance and “micro-responsiveness” is bad, just like every Electron I’ve ever used.
Well yeah, that’s pretty much a given.
I really hope recent lack of powerful computers drives up demand and willingness to make more native apps, but I’m not expecting anything.
