Anyone remember Google shell [http://goosh.org/], similar idea.
Now what I really want is an xterm that can render HTML/CSS. That way I can interleave my unix dweebry with outputs that use a modern display language.

Re: DuckDuckGo Terminal Emulator
#63I was pleasantly surprised to see that CTRL + L worked perfectly.
Actually, even TAB should trigger auto-complete, but the server seems to be down. :-(
Re: DuckDuckGo Terminal Emulator
#64I really like this, but there needs to be a better way to navigate to a page. The pop-up scheme is blocked by my browser. Perhaps, a iframe with the terminal becoming a header similar to Google image search? Maybe using Links?
I sort of agree with the inconvenience with pop-ups. Can't you selectively enable them for some web sites?

Yes, to really have this available in my terminal would make far more sense then in the browser where i can do the same stuff by entering stuff in the location bar..
I'm sure you realize that not all of us 1) use graphical user interfaces or environments when we work 2) have browser open 3) prefer clicking around stuff Just some of us want to do simple things such as [shift]+[right arrow], "ddg hackernews -l 5" which would then return the five topmost(the imaginary -l or --limit) results. No need to change workspaces, focus the browser, open a new tab, write out the search term,…
I think you totally misinterpreted your parent comment, and read sarcasm where there was none!

Exactly that. I was just wishing to have the "tty" tool in my actual terminal and not in my browser, just because i spend more working time in the terminal then in the browser.
Having to open the browser to find a text interface is somehow backwards.

#67Great and fun! Anyone else tried to close the search tab with Control-D?

I found this perl cmd util that does exactly that ... http://search.cpan.org/~getty/App-DuckDuckGo-0.006/bin/duckd...

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.
You guys should really have a look at Web Outside Of Browsers: http://weboob.org/
Weboob 'Web outside of Browsers', I can get that. But the attempt to put 'boob' in every application name? Am I missing something from a translation from French or is this meant to be comic?
Flatboob: Search for a house.
Wetboobs: Display current weather water levels and to see forecasts.
Nice to see application 'QHaveDate' was altered from 'QHaveSex'.
