Sorry about that. I believe Electron is the best cross-platform UI framework. And TypeScript is an amazing language.
It works differently: we just create a new shell session for each command. We create a non-interactive session without reading config files to make it fast and pass it appropriate ENV, which we maintain.
As of history and failed commands, it should work as you describe, it must be a bug. https://imgur.com/a/BKz5O
This is a great piece of feedback, thank you so much! We do utilize a login shell for executing commands, but we only support Bash and ZSH. So, it's a real Bash. However, there are some complications with environment…
Thanks for the feedback! It's true that we're far from where we want to be, but we're steadily - event if slowly - moving into that direction. Also, we recently integrated monaco-editor by Microsoft, so editing is much…
Actually using both apps.
In my opinion, Qt and wxWidgets apps look ugly. At least I never saw one that looks beautiful.
Thanks, I'll take a look at it. Although, it seems to only show a single best match, unlike IntelliSense.
It's a known bug, please vote to fix it faster. Variables interpolation doesn't work in built-in commands at the moment. https://github.com/railsware/upterm/issues/597
It's theoretically possible to have all the Upterm niceties over SSH, but not possible at the moment. As of screen and tmux, we have no plans to integrate with them.
Yes there is a gitter channel: https://gitter.im/upterm/Lobby
We kind of experimented with parsing man files, but it'll never be as good as manually crafted suggestions: you can do stuff like suggest changed files for "git add", tokens from diff for "git commit" message, show…
I wish the same autocompletion could be achieved in ZSH. Then I wouldn't start this project at all. The problem with ZSH is that you have to * Make a decision you want completion. * Press tab for it to appear. * Guess…
It's your choice, of course, but in my opinion Electron is the only decent cross-platform UI framework. Without Electron there would be no Linux version.
Surprisingly it has pretty moderate resource usage. I have both iTerm and Upterm running on my laptop, here are the stats. Of course, your mileage may vary. https://imgur.com/a/bwD06
Performance is definitely worse than in iTerm or gnome-terminal, but it's improved a lot in recent Upterm versions, and we plan to improve it further. I'd say it's good enough, but you can try yourself. Recently there…
Hyper is a pure terminal emulator; it only displays what your shell tells it to display. We aim to deeply integrate with a shell or even replace it for better experience. One of the most notable benefits is as-you-type…
I'm afraid it's not going to happen any time soon, if at all. But even if it does happen, it won't be cmd.exe or PowerShell support, but rather some kind of POSIX shell for Windows.
Hi, author of Upterm here. Ask me anything.
That should be fixed now.
What problems will I face if they don't communicate over a TTY?
Ha-ha, I get that a lot after telling about React and Electron. Initially I was thinking about Swift + Cocoa, but I figured CSS would give me more flexibility in designing the UI, and it would allow more people to write…
Hey. Not snooty at all. I understand your pain: once I tried to open Vim in this Kickstarter terminal project - Xiki - and was disappointed in the same way. Perhaps unexpectedly, Black Screen is both a terminal emulator…
I should thank you for the post. It reassured me I'm doing something people are interested in.
Thank you for your kind words. Spawning a shell shouldn't be a performance bottleneck as long as you create a new tab or pane, and not a new application instance. By the way there is a (very) experimental support of…
