Ivy | A GTK4/Rust Terminal ..that integrates TMux?!

[@not_kelbaz]

Mommy voice is back 😂

[@BillHarford]

Not the same :(

[@tears_falling]

I use Alacritty + Tmux + Neovim with ZSH as my shell, and I love my setup.

[@CRYPTiCEXiLE]

how good is alacritty :/

[@tears_falling]

@@CRYPTiCEXiLE alacritty is simple & performant, i like it because it doesn't do tabs/panes or image rendering

[@MilanPublics]

What about the "Custom emoji tutorial" video? i really need it

[@mii_beta]

will do will do, just dont know when :/

[@reimunator]

Mii here me out, have you considered tiling window managers? Sorry if already answed before.

[@mii_beta]

To use a tiling manager, just because we don't have a terminal that can do splits?

[@MykolaTheVaultDweller]

we need more gassy mii!!!! guh- nome forward!!!

[@Error8x8]

That terminal looks nice

[@donaldwilliams6821]

re: Terminal muxes Where I work I have 14 linux servers, no GUI at all. Only SSH.. w/o TMUX using them would be hellish. Once you get the bindings figured out it's fast and easy. You can save sessions, and restart them. I work remote so if my VPN drops the sessions are preserved and I can reconnect and be right where I was. You can bind a key sequence to start up panes and applications like a template. So many things you can do. IVYTERM seems not take advantage of TMUX at all.

[@Nikolai2i]

Alacritty and kitty are good if you're using hyprland and similar tling managers

[@notdeus3834]

How's lollypop?

[@raughboy188]

How about you try Kitty? It's not written in rust but that terminal's customizability is downright insane. It can multiplex by default but you can turn it off. You can extend it how ever you like using already avaliable plugins called kittens(don't ask me why) or you can make your own plugin but you'll need to know python and instead of cpu it uses gpu so it's incredibly fast.

[@mii_beta]

What about titlebar?

[@donaldwilliams6821]

@@mii_beta Sorry do you want or don't want title bars? I don't use them but I do like that Kitty has tabs and you can name them and auto start apps in the tabs

[@raughboy188]

@@mii_beta it depends wheter you like it or not but i think you can turn it off. Kitty has huge configuration file where you can turn features on or off and you can fine tune it. Oh yeah i forgot although i am not sure about this but kitty can display pictures inside terminal without extra tools. Install kitty and take a look at configuration file and everything will be clear.

[@ozu7779]

​yes it can show images :3​@@raughboy188

[@alexstone691]

I would like this if it integrated with zellij

[@ChanesMr]

I thought it was finally a linux terminal that implemented the tmux control mode

[@mii_beta]

seriously, why Alacritty has 56k stars on Github?! :/

[@Kermit2k]

Hijacking your comment to ask when are you doing an episode of Tech over Tea with Brodie?

[@reimunator]

Maybe the 56k are from Mac users as that has become a popular iterm2 alternative.

[@RashPro]

Because Speeeeeed, Alacritty is fast

[@salmansheriff8243]

because it is the best

[@miezhiko]

it's the best, I suggest you to get back on it.

[@MichaelWilliams-lr4mb]

Have you tried becoming a beta tester for Ghostty? It's written i Zig, so not rust. But I'm finding it pretty good so far as a beta tester myself.

[@theycallmesloth]

How can I get into the beta testing program?

[@pai64]

Yeah it comes out to public in December this year. I will be checking it out.

[@andyhall7032]

tmux overkill. screen for the win.

[@in_the_shell]

Try Terminology, it has a cool nyan cat theme

[@henriquecustodio]

Have you tried the Rio terminal or the Tabby terminal?

[@mii_beta]

@@henriquecustodio found it together with Ivy yesterday, but I tried ivy first cuz the gtk part.. will also try rio though!

[@miezhiko]

2. you don't need tabs on terminal because you have tabs in tmux and you need tmux tabs 3. there are tricks to load/save tmux tabs for your session and it's handy 4. if your terminal will crash - all your tabs in your tmux session, they are all in one session - your tmux session 5. alacritty is the best to work with tmux but what you may want to review is actually zellij zellij is tmux on rust literally - I'd like you to review it (on alacritty) 1. previous voice I liked more but whatever

[@miezhiko]

except I haven't tried zellij myself - if it can't handle sessions then it's useless okay I've checked - it can't but it's in "what's next" section so for now - useless but interesting for future when they will do sessions

[@neotwenty-nineBzH]

I don't understand why they can't fix the blurry issue in overview assuming you're talking about rounded window corners reborn. The dev says it's a "gnome shell" problem.... Really?

[@mii_beta]

dont know, but it's rounded corners reborn, and it would be cool if Gnome could do that out of box, and properly

[@neotwenty-nineBzH]

@@mii_beta been for months. I opened an issue. Nothing.

Wallpaper links? Please 🙏

[@yuanjiang5999]

I'm expecting gtk4-gnome-terminal, I'm using blackbox-terminal for now, because the actuality is that all those third terminals have bad behaviors on gnome desktop.

[@mii_beta]

dont you have ram regressions with it?

[@yuanjiang5999]

@@mii_beta I use flatpak version blackbox. I can say it just works fine, but it still have much slower launch speed than gnome-terminal, so just take it as a temporary workaround.

[@salmansheriff8243]

just use kitty

[@CRYPTiCEXiLE]

kitty doesnt show gtk4 titlebar and yeah sucks u can set it up with xwayland backend stuff but anyhow no ... im looking for a gtk4 terminal with nice option menu where u can add themes etc much similar to gnome-terminal and xfce4-terminal

[@eajaykumar]

Am back 😅😅

[@0xhamody]

Because they use alacrity on tiling wm and kde not on havy gnome🤣

[@ariel_chess]

Gnome's drag and drop is so broken. I dare you to move app icons around in the appdrawer for at least 6 minutes without it breaking.

[@mii_beta]

i think every drag and drop is broken if you move things for 6 minutes, just to make sure it is broken 😅🤣😂

[@dragonek_gnu_linux_pl]

Im using tilix. There is no better terminal emulator for me

[@mii_beta]

imagine that ...and it's like 5 years abandoned project?

[@dragonek_gnu_linux_pl]

@@mii_beta haha u right

​@@mii_beta haha you right

[@CRYPTiCEXiLE]

yse this is the video i need as i feel the same with gnome "terminal" option... aww man so this video doesn't show a good terminal wtf i do not like gnome console terminal it sucks and I don't to use outdated gnome-terminal and well what other option we have in wayland and gtk4 support... i use to use xfce4 terminal but thats just a non wayland app and it uses gtk3 ...hmm i'm on kde but it is so buggy, yes I know gnome has less feature like no system tray or desktop icons or a visable panel bar, but it is still a more stable DE in Linux, sadly probably the best one to use . . .
