I need vi mode!
Why would it need vi keybindings? This is a terminal emulator, not a text editor.
Default key bindings on korn shell are VI..

#12If the world were full of people who were interested in optimizing their computer interfaces this way, all websites would support a mode of operation like this and there would be a framework for the end user to pipe them to each other like the unix pipeline. Let us make it so!
I did that once, actually. It was an in-browser shell that piped REST requests and responses between each other. (Specifically, it would pipe the bodies.) It worked, but it didn't really catch on.
Here's a video of it (unfortunately, before it had piping or remote requests): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erVREtQoMCc

This has actually been a dream of mine for as long as I have been addicted to the command line. Feel free to contact me if you have thought it through further than I have - would be interested in discussing possible implementations.

#18Using this felt similar to using the Github Launch Bar[1] for the first time.
Something about having a command line interface really makes it feel like you are communicating deeply with the software, as opposed to poking around its surface in arranged flows. With a command line the interaction is different - it is exploratory with freestyle flow composition, and that can be really fun.
Modern graphical interfaces combined with a means to freely manipulate data and compose commands seem to be quite rare. I have always wished to have a full command line accessible in RPGs inside the game's menu system, so I could script some tedious things.
