    For me: Wezterm. It does pretty much everything. I don’t think Alacritty/Kitty etc. offer anything over it for my usage, and the developer is a pleasure to engage with.

    Second place is Konsole – it does a lot, is easy to configure, and obviously integrates nicely with KDE apps.

    Honorable mention is Extraterm, which has been working on cool features for a long time, and is now Qt based.

    I’ll just second the suggestion that KDE Plasma is worth a try, as it’s very adaptable once you know what you want. You don’t need to install any addons for the functionality you describe, just open the Shortcuts settings, KWin category, and have at it.









  • Yeah, since broot is a full featured file navigator and operator, you can get anywhere once it’s launched. I have alt+up bound to go up a directory, but there are other ways to get around as well.

    Broot supports fish out of the box, and you can use its default fish launcher function to change your folder (alt+enter quits broot then performs a cd) or insert a path (the broot command pp quits broot then prints the path, like fzf).

    I never learned fish scripting, but if anyone here has they may try to port my Zsh functions, especially to get path completion for partially typed paths. If you’re doing that and have questions about the broot config side of the equation, I’m happy to try to help.
