Woah this is rad! Thahk you!!

Oh, this looks great, thanks!

I am using bash, which is indeed part of the problem. What emulator would you suggest, and how did you achieve it?

Hmmm, good point. Maybe it is impossible to do this correctly.

Yeah, I understand that this is difficult. But I am suggesting this considering lack of polish (ime) in commands.

On the recalling, remembering entire commands is not the problematic one for me. Rather, I want a quick way to go with which apps do which.

Also, terminals (that is, how most of the commands run) honestly do not look and feel good. I do think polished TUI could be a good solution, but they are not widespread.

The apps just fail and crash randomly, any linux users cannot entirely rely on them. Well, I guess linux is destined for 2% of desktop users, who can use terminal on a daily basis, and current rise is just a fluke.

You say that like it’s a bad thing, but, scratch exists. Further, you have to face that the "infantile " UI is trendy.

…Keyboard shortcuts are not necessarily the solution.

I mean, there are already tons of applications that lets you e.g. update, like apt update/upgrade does.

One issue with it is that it fails time to time, and error messages the GUI usually conveys are subpar. That’s why I think you cannot avoid terminals. I just want some middle ground for that.

Also, ik this is nitpicking but… while apt is good on this front… what about the CLIs whose --help gives hundreds of lines?

Seems like what I was roughly thinking of. I guess it fell into obscurity for good reasons, but I do think this kind of tool would be great for some edge-cases - that is, you cannot yet avoid terminal.

I already am quite familiar with terminal, and am aware of how to handle it. I do have issues that I am using plain old bash, but it’s not unfamiliarity that is my problem.

It’s more that there are common commands that I am dealing with, I (somehow) don’t like entering it in terminal format.

About warp, that seems roughly what I want, but the AI part irks me. I dunno, I gotta look more dseply.

Yeah, these kinds of stuffs would fit my bill. TUI would work just as well.

Calling it “terminal emulator” was a poor word usage on my end, yeah. I do not fear myself running command line though. I just want to avoid CLI.

What are hotkeys?

Interesting, does this exist? That would be a great one to use.

Hmm, --help parsing can be screwy, I guess. Maybe there is a way through autocompletion machinery.

What kind of GUI allows you to launch CLIs with certain configurability?

Yeah I am not suggesting an entire terminal replacement, which is unreasonable.

My idea is more to have (configurable) set of commands that you can run, where its results are received mostly as a text. In this way, you can interact via terminal more easily, I’d imagine.

Yeah, in the more technical/scientific departments, people usually have incredible skills to prove their worth.
