Signal to do more such content. You gotta remind to like every time on youtube. RUclips isn't like twitch in the way that people come to watch particularly a few people.

Pausing in between my dinner to give like and comment this long ass paragraph. So you can understand how a person could easily be skipping through stuff such as like and comment.
Just wanted to emphasize what was said here: most of the time I don't even remember that the like button exists. Even when content creators mention it, I think I just filter that automatically, in the same way we tend to not even see ads on a web page anymore.
@@ThePrimeTimeagen I use "like" button in a very restricted way. Only on videos which I think it can be useful for me in the future, so I can remember "oh where is that video, I remember I liked it and can be useful..." then I go to "liked videos" tab and search it. Liking videos too much just turns the "liked videos" tab in a trash can without any purpose lol. This video I won't like it 🙃. Not because is not good, because I'm not interested in ghostty.

Signal! Love this content. Keep it up Prime. Alway stoked when you post or stream because I seem to always learn something new. Keeps me invigorated about my job. I'll show folks at my school your stuff because I want them to see how fun tech and programming can be.
I'm a fan of when you do stuff like this. I value your opinion, and all due respect to the other brilliant programming/dev RUclipsrs out there. However, many who make content such as yours just lack the depth and foresight someone like yourself has. I think you err on the side of caution when it comes to new things, which is always a valuable perspective from a well versed person. That said, I think this video would benefit from a comparison with the alternatives. In this case, the terminal emulator you normally use. While I agree that easy configuration and good documentation are great. It would be helpful if you directly showed the differences between your regular terminal and Ghostty. That way we can see how it's better in a direct, side by side comparison. Thanks, Prime.
I'd love to see more videos of you talking about tech. I respect you as a programmer and a person, so hearing your take give me the confidence that is a valuable and sincere opinion
For those interested. In zig, if you trunc -5.5, it goes to -5, but if you floor -5.5 it becomes -6, but with positive 5.5, both floor and trunc return 5. Basically floor was swapping directions when negative and effectively "Adding" when it shouldn't have. Another way of saying this is that trunc keeps the rounding (aka line_count) in the direction it needs to be in.
"swapping directions" is pretty subjective. floor always has the direction down, or more precisely it brings the closest integer smaller than the value. trunc has the closest integer that is nearest to zero. Aka trunc is going down for positive numbers and up for negative ones.
floor rounds down, always. trunc doesn't round, ever. It just truncates the decimal portion off the number. One is a mathematical operation. The other is more like a string operation.
I would really like for you to do more videos like this where you just quickly talk about a cool program or tool you are using or have found. I'm not like super interested in a lot of the industry happenings, react style videos, but every time you make one of these kinds of videos I love it. I find that learning about new software options really helps to keep my drive going.
If I had three wishes, I would wish for infinite money, 200 german shepards, and you making more videos like these. You're like Midas but instead of turning everything you touch into gold, you turn everything you touch into a pretty damn entertaining video.
Signal. I originally found your channel looking for vim content that would show me new things to explore and maybe add to my workflow. These explorations are valuable just to see the kinds of options that exist across the toolbox... Useful since I'll never try them all myself; there's problems that need solving and code that needs writing!
I've got two main requirements from a modern terminal: speed and font rendering quality (don't care about ligatures). The second criterion excludes Kitty (unlikeable dev too). The icing on the cake is image rendering, and on that front I'd like to see terminals stick to a standard: Though I like ueberzug, it's still a hack. I like and use Wezterm, but it just doesn't replace Tmux, othewise I'd have to add Wez as a strong dependency of my flow. I choose (terminal) promiscuity!
Id love to see more like this. Youre one of the creators i watch and although a 45 minute interview can be nice as background noise, I do prefef this kind of content along the lines of "hey, check this nice thing". Especially since I dont really get to interact with the IT world alot outside of memes
both wezterm and konsole have ctrl+shift+t for new tab and ctrl-tab for next tab, that is all I need instead of tmux, also ctrl+shift+n for term in new window. the ctrl tab keybinding mixes well with alt tab of most window managers, the main reason I use this solution is there is it is default
It's times like this that I wish I was someone with name recognition in the industry. I'm dying to try out ghostty, but I have to wait until December to do so.
Can’t believe so many people try ghostty and don’t mention the native tabs and graphical menus! That’s such a highlight for me. Anyways great content here’s my signal
Writing a signal comment: this is a great video, I’d love to see more of this so I can learn more about projects that I wouldn’t have otherwise known about
Sure, this kind of content is nice, keep at it! I would have loved to see how ghostty performs, by running notcurses-demo, for starters. Thanks for keeping it alive, OptimusPrim! (that’s a new one, I think ;-P)
Signal to do more of this content as it fits my daily routine perfectly! I use your videos to wake up my brain for work. My next step is should be to fix things that were slightly annoying the days before as these things are less critical then the production code I write after 9:00. That said, I want to give you an ENORMOUS thank you for making videos with your lovely energising voice. Having a healthy sleeping pattern is hard if your job is to stare at a screen during working hours. Because we have creators like you, It is way easier for us to maintain a healthy routine. (Also, you need to remind me to like your videos, as my brain has not yet started completely)
@@Jabberwockybird I can understand this if the streamer is obnoxious, but theprimeagen is an all round likeable guy and clicking like is the least we could do to support him.

Signal to do more of this. I like using the like button solely for music content because it's like adding it to my playlist with one click. If I always liked everything I like then I would have to click like 2 more times to put music in a music playlist and that's a lot of commitment.

I don't want a terminal emulator that doesn't require tmux. the problem is that then my workflow becomes tied to the terminal emulator. I have a few situations where I got too tied to a particular application's extra tools (ie things normally not tied to that sort of application) and every time I've regretted it, and ended up using the application far too long (ie after support for it dwindled, or after generally-better options became available). A modular system il a resilient system. My ideal terminal emulator is the same as my ideal windshield - one that I don't even think about existing, one that simply doesn't get in the way of the thing behind it. I don't want it to have features except insofar as it's a feature to not be in the way (eg true color support being a feature compared to 16 color, a thing that gets in the way of showing all the colors my graphics card / monitor can show).
I'm using kitty, which has the multuplexer part but it doesn't have the sessionizer part. And I kinda don't know what to do since I already use kitty's tabs and would like not to have a separate layer of tmux tabs
I don't quite understand why st + abducto + dtwm + scroll isn't what everyone uses, but I guess everyone is different. Personally, sometimes I don't need session management, sometimes I don't need multiterminal, and being able not to use it is important for me. Simple tools with integration for another simple tools is better than one big tool.
Loved the video. Been using ghostty since April of this year and love it. Admittedly, my setup is fairly simply though; just Neovim, kickstart, and telescope. 🙂
sending more signal, this vid reminded me a lot of the main channel videos and the first videos you ever did on this channel. i miss that kind of content from you and would love to see more!
With twitch and streaming, people get to know and trust you. With videos like this, we get to know what you think about things we would like to know and trust. More, please.
I usually listen to RUclips in the background, but you're right, if yous can invest so much time in creating these awesome videos, the least I can do is press the like button.
I think it's good to keep a healthy balance between playing to the gallery, and making things because you want to be making them. -- If you never do something just because you want it will never have a chance to resonate with anyone.
Wezterm IS that terminal. I use it on all 3 OSes and don’t have to rely on tmux. I just set the same tmux bindings on Wezterm so that if I have to use tmux it won’t be foreign
I switched from Alacritty to WezTerm because of a weird paste error indenting every next line another extra tab, and the devs fix was to "update windows". As if that would work on a corporate machine... Anyway, WezTerm is blazingly fast and customizable.
Looks interesting, but I don't think there is anything compelling for a hardcore TMUX user. Everything in TMUX can be reached via one Prefix/Leader. So all other shortcuts for everything else stay unblocked. Same with the VIM - Leader key. Point is, It should not fall to the terminal to define how key inputs are handled (besides passing inputs to the current running application of course). Each TUI-App has its own way of reacting to User-Input. On stream, you mentioned for example the C-u and C-d shortcuts. If you map them in Ghostty, then they don't work in Vim, or in TMUX or Midnight Commander or Ranger or Yazi anymore. If you want to scroll in TMUX, you can just enter "Copy-Mode" and that lets you scroll via C-u and D-d as well. (If you set your TMUX mode-keys to "vi"). Now Ghostty could just introduce a Leader-Key for all its shortcuts as well, but what is the Point? Why invent a worse version of TMUX?
Beeeeeeeeeep. Please, do more of those 10-20 minute videos where you just share your thoughts. Would love to hear about main life improvements of ghostty and why I should replace my iterm with it.
Yea i know, i had to highlight the ending points since 23 mins is just rambling; programmers are efficient with time, so you gotta cut things 1 - 2 mins.

I feel like the best terminal is the one that perfects the balance between easy customization and not getting in your way
I like this stuff, thank you - I learn about new stuff.
With twitch and streaming, people get to know and trust you. With videos like this, we get to know what you think about things we would like to know and trust.
More, please.
Thank you for all the content. ❤
I usually listen to RUclips in the background, but you're right, if yous can invest so much time in creating these awesome videos, the least I can do is press the like button.
I think it's good to keep a healthy balance between playing to the gallery, and making things because you want to be making them. -- If you never do something just because you want it will never have a chance to resonate with anyone.
Another signal to do more of these. 😀 I've been interested in ghostty so glad to hear your thoughts on it.
loved this type of stuff. Do more!
Love this type of content!
Signal that I love watching software reviews and new terminal emulators.
4:50 Did the like button just light up when you said "push the like button"? I didn't know that was a thing 😮
Just reinforcing the sentiment that It'd be good to have more quick videos like this where you talk about some tech you found interesting.
Wezterm IS that terminal. I use it on all 3 OSes and don’t have to rely on tmux. I just set the same tmux bindings on Wezterm so that if I have to use tmux it won’t be foreign
I'm gonna name my kid after you, thank you for reminding me.
I love this format
i like this type of video prime (:
and i pressed the like button
Wezterm also is configured with Lua
I switched from Alacritty to WezTerm because of a weird paste error indenting every next line another extra tab, and the devs fix was to "update windows". As if that would work on a corporate machine...
Anyway, WezTerm is blazingly fast and customizable.
This is the kind of content you excel at
Signal. More exploration to the BLOOD GOD OF EXPLORATION!
Looks interesting, but I don't think there is anything compelling for a hardcore TMUX user.
Everything in TMUX can be reached via one Prefix/Leader. So all other shortcuts for everything else stay unblocked. Same with the VIM - Leader key.
Point is, It should not fall to the terminal to define how key inputs are handled (besides passing inputs to the current running application of course).
Each TUI-App has its own way of reacting to User-Input.
On stream, you mentioned for example the C-u and C-d shortcuts. If you map them in Ghostty, then they don't work in Vim, or in TMUX or Midnight Commander or Ranger or Yazi anymore.
If you want to scroll in TMUX, you can just enter "Copy-Mode" and that lets you scroll via C-u and D-d as well. (If you set your TMUX mode-keys to "vi").
Now Ghostty could just introduce a Leader-Key for all its shortcuts as well, but what is the Point? Why invent a worse version of TMUX?
How many signals need to do more this type of content? :D
I'd love to see more videos about tech utilities!
i might use it if it has kitty image protocol
iirc it does
I'd love to see more videos like this where you just explore different programs.
I wanna see more quick tool overviews, love playing with new tools
Kitty has a learning curve, but I'd love to see you try it. It solves the tmux needs case in its own way.
Beeeeeeeeeep. Please, do more of those 10-20 minute videos where you just share your thoughts.
Would love to hear about main life improvements of ghostty and why I should replace my iterm with it.
Finally a video I can watch, concise, to the point, not an hour of rambling and banning people on the chat
Yea i know, i had to highlight the ending points since 23 mins is just rambling;
programmers are efficient with time, so you gotta cut things 1 - 2 mins.
I'd like video updates about ghostty :) I've been waiting for this one for a while
Can’t wait for it to release and have weird interactions with Wayland. I love Wayland so much.
Very interested in hearing how simulation testing is working, pros and cons
Leaving this comment just because Prime said I needed to do it. Keep doing all the things.
I love Rose-Pine. Glad to see you using it 😅
You have my signal, to make more videos in this format.
Keep us posted on that full release. I like Kitty, but this one definitely looks pretty awesome
Signal to make bite sized videos like this one. Sometimes your videos are too long. 30 min +.
Would love to see more 5-15min vids from you.
