You should also check out Wezterm too and see which one you like more. I ported my tmux keybinds to Wezterm - including vim-tmux-navigator style ctrl+{h,j,k,l} for navigating between nvim splits and Wezterm splits, ctrl-a as tmux leader. Getting tmux out of the way between terminal and nvim noticably improved scroll feeling in nvim and just in shell scrollback too. I styled Wezterm's tabs to look just like my tmux ta…

Does wezterm (or any other terminal emulator) have some way to attach to a session over ssh or over multiple ttys? It's the main thing stopping me from jumping ship.

Yes, Wezterm has this. https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/multiplexing.html

I haven’t used it yet, and it requires you install Wezterm on the remote. Ideally Wezterm could push a mux server executable to the remote host if needed.

Looks really awesome. I'm going to sound like I don't belong in the hipster terminal club, but the reason I shied away from some of the other terminals is the lack of tabs, which looks like yours has when I did a quick Google question/search. (if wezterm and the like have them, I must have missed it or it wasn't obviously apparent in the settings how to achieve them). I know everyone will say but tmux and/or native m…

I also use tmux, but I love the native tabs of Konsole in KDE. I have Shift-Arrow configured to move between them, it is far more comfortable than the dual shortcuts needed by tmux, Ctrl-B to call tmux's attention then l (if I remember correctly) to get to the last tab. Konsole also has easy resizing of text and supports images in the console, you might like it.

Try binding the tmux leader key to '`' (grave accent). This changed my life!

Ghostty has a hard-to-find "quake mode" that may interest some. During the beta I had it configured like this on macOS: keybind = global:cmd+space=toggle_quick_terminal quick-terminal-animation-duration = 0.1 There isn't an option to set the default height of the "quick terminal" window that I'm aware of but you can drag the bottom of the window after it opens and it will persist between toggles.

Doesn't seem to like that keybind now, and searching the docs doesn't give me answer. Do you know if something still works?

Also, why cmd+space? That's the MacOS spotlight search binding.

This isn't a company, I'm not trying to convince you to use it, this is more of a personal art project. If that doesn't vibe with you that's completely fine. You're happy to not use it. I'm happy whether you use it or not. It's all good mate. (The first sentence in the docs page does explain what it is but if that's too much for you, it's all good.)

Fair. And I'm not here to convince you to cater to everyone. The explanation might be on the first page of the doc, but unless you click on it, you won't know. My prior experience is that docs don't necessarily tell "what" but rather "how" which means that you need to know why you're there. Their weight also varies. Thus, I learned to not speculate how many clicks and real time it's going to take me to learn about the project. If the author doesn't want me to know it, I won't be digging into it.

I enjoy personal projects and if you're saying that this is your personal - all the best! Given high praise count it's likely very good.

Yeah I agree. To me the "If you know you know" mentality is a negative signal about something, suggesting that something is possibly seen as cool/trendy (which is a negative signal against being the most practical/utilitarian/unsexy solution).

Is it mining cryto? Caused my mac to slow down, CPU usage shot up to 100%, and it dropped right down after I quit it.

I think you misunderstood the OP. The criticism was about the landing page, not the project.

And fwiw, it's not unwarranted. Putting the words "terminal emulator" somewhere on the page would make less people bounce off. You may be fine with them bouncing off, but still, I think it was meant as constructive criticism.
