Its perfect code. It needs no updates. Ignore the open issues about it crashing on startup.

I'm actually surprised at how benign this report is. It's all stuff we more or less already know. I wanted to see the couches.

Are split peas and chickpeas not beans?

This is 90s thinking. Why must terminal emulators only be text and only do things that a physical terminal could?

I keep trying to imagine what abandoning TTY interfaces in Linux would look like and I can't comprehend the rework that would be required. It's so fundamentally different.

For example, how would the SSH protocol work? How would that be compatible? Would we have to abandon SSH or always X forward?

There is definitely a pressure to extend beyond standard TTY. Tmux captures mouse action and has a window management system. fish shell has autocomplete. But both of these still use the same medium of text.

I may simply lack imagination.

 

Any plans to add backspace functionality similar to Gboard or normal keyboards?

 

It builds character! I wanted to see if it would be a practical fix. It is unnoticeable when I am actually wearing it. It is not a forever fix, so I will keep an eye out for used watches to see if I can snag a replacement 18mm band.
