Perhaps in your eagerness to overreact you missed the point I was making, so I'll simplify it for you: Filling development threads with "you're an idiot" ... "no you" detracts from the thread's ability to develop. > Which extant terminal emulators behave the way your proposed > functionality describes? In terms of using pipes to communicate with other programs, all of them. In terms of doing so without consuming a PTY or spawning a child process, none that I know of. Are you suggesting that we shouldn't develop new software because no existing software does what we want? I've seen no strict definition specifying how a terminal emulator must communicate with other processes. Whether it acts like a host process spawning a child and communicating through a PTY, or gets spawned as a child process itself reading and writing directly through pipes, it's still a terminal emulator.
