I hope that when my current laptop dies, a somewhat libre and linux-friendly alternative with an ARM chipset will be on the market.
You might not even have to log out: Just change the user in the terminal: su - user2
What’s my favourite terminal? The one that fits my desktop environment. When I used XFCE I used its terminal, when I used i3 I used kitty, and now I use blackbox on Gnome.
So, I’ve tried using Toolbox on my Debian machine. It works and it’s nice to have access to newer versions of the programming languages I use. But much like OP, I encountered a problem with VS Code in that the IDE cannot work with the compilers from my toolboxes. For example, Debian has Go 1.19 and Fedora (in a toolbox) has Go 1.21. In-between the versions a small change of the go.mod
configuration file has happened, so VS Code which uses Go 1.19 cannot parse it.
Is there a way to solve this? OP’s way of solving this, i.e. installing the IDE in the container seems like a hack. I don’t want to manage 20 different instances of VS Code.
I just installed Konsole to try it out. CTRL + Arrows to jump between words works, but this also works in Blackbox and Gnome Terminal. :D
CTRL + SHIFT + Arrows for selecting words, SHIFT + Arrows for selecting characters, nor deleting selected text doesn’t work in Konsole, Blackbox, nor Gnome Terminal.
I generally agree with you.
The input works more like a normal text editor (including mouse support) and has in-built completions, syntax highlighting, and support for multiple-cursors.
If you actually want those features, that’s your shell’s job. Not your terminal emulator. And presumably if you need these fancy features you’ll just use a normal text editor to make a shell script.
I, personally, would like to see a terminal / shell / whatever with support of standard, modern text input: CTRL + Arrows to skip words, CTRL + SHIFT + Arrows to select whole words, deleting all of selected text etc. I find it baffling that the terminal – the main text input of my system – uses a different way of text input than any other text field.
So far, once.
Windows 2000 looked amazing.
