- It looks good. Or more correctly, it is easy to make it look good. If one spends a lot of time in the Terminal emulator, it looking good has some positives.
- It uses plain text configuration that is easy to modify and version control.
Edit:
- At least on Linux, foot's support for windows and tabs is limited to starting an entirely new process.
I use niri and footclient -N, so builtin window and tab completion don't appeal to be.
Foot feels fast, but I've not actually measured the latency.
It also seems to use less CPU than GPU accelerated terminals (which it isn't) from just glancing at btop. So I'm not sold on GPU-acceleration as a feature unless I see benchmarks demonstrating the value in improved latency and reduced CPU use compared to foot
I love that foot's scrollback search, selection expansive, and copy can be entirely keyboard driven. Huge QoL feature for me that often seems neglected to me in other terminals.
My old blog posts come up in the first page of search results for niche topics a lot, and it is very satisfying when someone reaches out to say that they benefited from it.
On a side note, after writing frequently for ~12 years, I didn't write anything for the next 6. This discussion came at the right time - it nudged me to publish two posts yesterday.
Now this looks interesting. Integration looks pretty simple since it's a JS include via jQuery. Would you happen to have any running demos somewhere or perhaps some screenshots?
May be blog is not the right name for it. This is useful in a situation where you want to write something quickly without going to the lengths of publishing a full blog post and then want to share with someone who is not in to Gists and GitHub.
