I’m looking for a new terminal. What’s your favorite one and why? Which one is popular?
Illness
um…
Emacs.I mean, Oh My Zsh.Guake. Has been for years. I am in and out the terminal all the time, so F12 works well for me. Plus I used to play Quake and used the in game terminal to do all kinds of things. Plus I’m an old RISC OS kid and F12 was the key to get the “star line”.
Whatever starts with
Ctrl+Alt+T😁Windows+Enter
I find remapping it to Super+T natural
windows command prompt :-)
Super+X, Igang
super + enter
is this for linux yet? or is it still mac only
I use it on Linux.
Wezterm. I started out on konsole, and was happy with it, but then I started using zellij as my terminal multiplexer. Although zellij allows you to configure what command copies and pastes text, copy/paste on wayland and windows only works by default with wezterm. It gives me consistency across multiple DEs/OSes, with minimal configuration, which is good because I was setting up development environments for many people, with many configurations

I like Konsole.
It comes with KDE, supports tabs, themes, and loads very fast.
I don’t really need more from a terminal than that. When I, rarely, need more advanced features like window splitting and session management I also use Zellij (previously I used tmux).

Konsole does window splitting as well, doesn’t it?
Yes, it does.
Yakuake is similar but drop down based (like quake). I love having a hot key to access my terminal (tabs, splits, and all). Especially when editing in vim and looking at docs in Firefox it’s such a buttery smooth workflow.
None, they all have pros & cons.
The most popular in the Linux space is probably Alacritty & Kitty.alacritty
ST - Simple terminal https://st.suckless.org/
Because I agree with suckless philosophy.
Can’t argue with that, minimalism is based. (I say this as a non-minimalist)
I want to love it too. I use dwm, and tried ST for a year, but I gave up. Tmux doesn’t solve every issue, and specially when you have to manage another Tmux session on a server, it gets ridiculous.
I want to use as much suckless as possible, but ST just doesn’t work for me.
VT2. Sometimes 3.
Accidentally put my comment as a reply to yours, sorry :>
Wezterm, because it lets me easily disable all keymaps and then reenable only those few that I use. I use tmux to handle most things, and with wezterm I don’t have to worry about tmux clashing with wezterm’s krymaps.
terminator was my go to for the longest time. Nowadays, I just use default GNOME Terminal. I just need things to work and not waste time tinkering.
kitty terminal + zsh shell, two fast and customizable tools
