Gonna make a new shell / terminal emulator that behaves more like graphical text interfaces. Kinda tired of having to rewire my muscle memory between the terminal and GUIs. I want `ctrl+z` to do an undo when I'm typing text instead of whatever arcane shortcut bash uses.

As part of this experiment I will try to rely on a local #LLM called OpenHermes 2.5 Mistral 7B instead of duckduckgo as much as is practical. Though I think I need to tune it with the repos I usually refer to for code.

@mauve there's a guy working on a much more useful terminal UI, which includes multiple undo and many other things.

He makes regular videos, I posted some, which are really interesting - stunning demos of innovative ideas.

I don't recall his name right now but am looking forward to his ideas being available.

@happyborg That's awesome! Do send me a link next time you come accros it.

I think for my terminal my goal is to make it minimal and easy to navigate along side the other apps I use on my desktop. If it's particularly fancy then I probably failed my design goals. :P
