Synchronized Output

Synchronized output is merely implementing the feature as inspired by iTerm2 synchronized output, except that it's not using the rare DCS but rather the well known SM ? and RM ?. iTerm2 has now also adopted to use the new syntax instead of using DCS.

Semantics

When rendering the screen of the terminal, the Emulator usually iterates through each visible grid cell and renders its current state. With applications updating the screen a at higher frequency this can cause tearing.

This mode attempts to mitigate that.

Linuxifying Windows for development

This guide is for 'linuxing-up' Windows as a development environment; it focuses on setting up [WSL], an Ubuntu Hyper-V virtual machine, [wsltty] (a nice terminal emulator) and various tweaks.

Hyperlinks (a.k.a. HTML-like anchors) in terminal emulators

[ Update 2020-05-31: I won't be maintaining this page or responding to comments anymore (except for perhaps a few exceptional occasions). ]

---

Most of the terminal emulators auto-detect when a URL appears onscreen and allow to conveniently open them (e.g. via Ctrl+click or Cmd+click, or the right click menu).

It was, however, not possible until now for arbitrary text to point to URLs, just as on webpages.

Distribution Detection

I am working on adding support for building and distributing (via PyPI) Python Wheels with C Extensions to the Python wheel and pip packages. The discussion on Distutils-SIG continues, but I believe it is fairly certain that some effort to correctly identify Linux distributions will need to be made. I've begun efforts to add this support to wheel.

How you can help

If you have a Linux distribution or version of a listed distribution not in this gist, or one of the ones I have not directly verified, I could use the following:

• The contents of /etc/os-release, if it exists

Github provides no facility to do this via the UI. This is sad, because it would be extremely useful in order to draft something before publishing it. It would also be trivial for them to implement. Never mind; here's how to do it manually:

1. Get the "Clone this Gist" text from the left-hand side of the private Gist, e.g. https://gist.github.com/b9cc265982870c091a1e.git, and extract the ID b9cc265982870c091a1e.
2. Go to https://gist.github.com/ and create a dummy new public Gist.
3. Get the "Clone this Gist" text from the left-hand side, e.g. https://gist.github.com/8270253.git, and extract the ID 8270253.
4. git clone git@gist.github.com:b9cc265982870c091a1e tmp-dir && cd tmp-dir && git push -f git@gist.github.com:8270253.git
