I'm tired of iTerm2

- ssh conductor

- AI features almost forced on us until the community complained

- clickable links

I just want a dumb, reliable terminal. Is that too much to ask?

Clickable paths is the unique feature of iTerm2 I use the most. It's called sematic history, for some reason, and converts a UNIX environment into something like an IDE. I let it trigger a bash script that opens my editor when I click a path in, e.g., a stack trace or in the output of a sequence of piped commands.

The developers of Kitty, Ghostty etc. are too much mouse haters to even acknowledge the possibility of this feature, so I'm stuck with iTerm2.

Use terminal.app. Since tahoe it supports 24bit colour and has key combos for the most common features.

then don't use it ? There are dozens of alternatives

> AI features almost forced on us until the community complained

This was a wrong take back when it happened and it’s even more silly to bring it up now. No AI features were forced on anyone, it was opt-in and HN lost its mind over a nothing burger.

“Oh no! This software has a feature I don’t like which isn’t even enabled by default, whatever will I do?”
