  • Really impressive work, does this terminal environment support standard VS Code extensions?
    by anishvarghese
  • Yes!
    by robpruzan
  • That's exactly what I am looking for several years. Because VSCode is a bit slow via RDP or X11 Remote. I will try it out when I'm back at work.

  • There is ssh extension and remote containers extension, they work together.

  • You can run it directly from a web browser too.

  • Why not use vscode remote via ssh port forwarding? I just use it via my browser.

  • This looks really interesting! I personally really like reviewing diffs in VS Code’s diff view, does terminal-code support that?

  • This looks like an amazing idea - pretty much the first thing close to a reason why I would consider installing anything Microsoft related on my Linux.

  • How does it compare performance wise? Feature parity? Can you spawn shells in the terminal pane or is there no terminal pane and you're expected to being your own multiplexer?

  • Hahaha!! This VScode ide definitely deserves it! Fantastic idea! You've my vote mate, good work!

  • I got excited that it's like TurboPascal, but this is basically VS Code over RDP (uses video streaming over kitty protocol).

  • Wow, bloated electron app running over bloated graphics stack, tell me more...

  • terminal-code has been replaced by a shell script which 1) Generates a syslog message at level LOG_EMERG; 2) reduces the user's disk quota by 100K; and 3) RUNS ED!!!!!!

  • or just fake the layout using zellij, fzf and a little scripting... hehe https://github.com/etnt/my-zellij-config

  • But does it also run a terminal emulator inside, which runs terminal-code inside, which…

  • It does! I'm terrified

  • Why?

    This just embeds electron and shoves it into the terminal instead of the native frontend.

    All the same downsides of Electron with practically little to no upside other than the same folks who ruined the web are now ruining the terminal.

  • IIUC it works over SSH which would be kind of nice I suppose
    by Ferret7446
  • It uses the kitty graphics protocol, if you're wondering how it can look like that instead of being rendered with text characters.
