If you're a Mac user and not using iTerm2 then run don't walk to download it.

It's one of the first things I install on a new mac. Along with Firefox. So the browser is a bit redundant for me. I actually only use a fraction of the features but the ones I do use seem to be lacking in the few linux terminals I've used. Things I like: - easy to switch between tabs (command + arrow), use this all the time - easy to copy paste (command+c, command+v, same as in the rest of the OS). - easy to scroll…

Anyone here uses command mode tmux in iTerm (tmux integration) ? I used it a couple of times and thought it's pretty neat. I rarely need to use tmux though, so no idea how well it works with more advanced workflows and needs

Yes, and I am more convinced that the market for non-iOS and non-Android mobile devices will grow. Not sure if its going to be GrapheneOS, or Linux — But we can witness the growing trend of privacy-focus — especially after AI being introduced on the OS layer — grabbing recurring screenshots, uploading to clouds, and essentially destroying E2E encryption.

I'm dreaming of that as well. But non-Android will always be against the chipset manufacturers not giving any documentation or software to anyone except NDA'd companies that follow their reference implementation exactly.

Google is also busily planning to kill sideloading and changes to the OS one step at a time.

Also, Graphene is Android. Just a nice distribution of, for pixels.

A small practical example of how you might use this: https://imgur.com/mTS0vHO Helix on the left and a Clojure repl at top-right in terminal panes. Portal data viewer in a browser pane at bottom-right.

But why wouldn't you just use any old window tiling manager?

What challenge?

Yeah I'm really not sure why people take doing things that their employers don't want them doing as a challenge. Like how about the challenge instead be working within the restrictions? Or communicating with their boss what they need to get their job done?

They have no clue what legal requirements are imposed on the company that led to those restrictions. They could easily land themselves or the entire business in hot water by not complying. It doesn't matter how easy the controls are to bypass. Like, it's easy to pick or cut a LOTO lock, but that doesn't mean it's fine to do that.

I’m convinced that a term/browser can somehow help in the fight against ensh*ttification and general spoiling of the internet experience for certain classes of user. Edited for typo.

except: > AI Integration

It's off-by-default AI integration though, which is far less of an issue. If AI is useful for you then you can turn it on, for the rest of us we don't even notice by default unless you go into the config menus

Because all the editor keyboard shortcuts and such work in the browser tab

Having 2 separate windows requires an extra mouseclick for any interaction on most OSes. For example, try to highlight text on a non-focused window.

Obviously a tiny extra effort, and not sure it justifies this feature, but it can add up for some things.

> This feature exists because: - Many iTerm2 features translate well to web browsing - It provides a unified terminal and browser experience - A former colleague suggested this idea in 2014 and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. - I am maybe having a midlife crisis and this is cheaper than a sports car. I can't put my finger on why, but this might be the most refreshing thing I've seen in a README in year…

As much as I despise the feature (security), I absolutely respect the motivation to do it. I think this is why its so refreshing - one of those itches being scratched which, sure - why not? - but then again, omfg, just no.

What is the additional security hazard you see?
