- Terminals like Windows Terminal, Warp, and Ghostty still rely on shells like bash or zsh, limiting innovation.
- The shell, once a powerful tool, is now seen as outdated and a barrier for new users.
- Terminal Click is a new terminal that eliminates the need for shells, offering features like click-based navigation, real-time feedback, and command spell-checking.
- Features include instant man pages, environment variable editing, enhanced command history, and mouse traps (sandboxing commands).
- Terminal Click supports cross-platform use (Windows, macOS, Linux) and includes a retro mode for backward compatibility.
- Future updates may include a calendar picker, infinite rewind, and 3D model previews.
- Currently in beta, Terminal Click aims to become a major player in the terminal space within 1-2 years.
