I looked it up and it turns out there is no standard way to tell what a user's preferred terminal emulator is. Looking at `TERM` is one way to make an educated guess. Take a look at this answer on Stack Exchange for example: https://superuser.com/questions/1153988/find-the-default-terminal-emulator/1461079#1461079 I notice other paths through HyperDoc take me to buttons that use the terminal that is already open, usually with the label «Do It». So, there is a way for HyperDoc to talk to the instance of FriCAS that is already running. In this light, is opening a new terminal necessary? > Well, there is fraction of open source developers that believe > that their moral duty is to break any software that is more than > few years old. I think this is an uncharitable description. If we never move on from old things, we can never have new, better things. In the instances I have been a witness of, the decision to break things was thoroughly thought through and lead to improvement. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
