tldr, fzf-tab suffices for me. For anything else you may give shellgpt a try. But I love my Alacritty with a zsh and p10k.

simply use thefuck

Don't need it, don't want it. They can fuck off with this nonsense.

optional autocomplete is a nice-to-have, eager autocomplete is a pain in the ass. as long as it only completes when I ask it to, I don't mind.

Terminal with GUI drop down menus every time you try and type something seems like the kind of Terminal a microsoft executive would dream up

This is faily easy to build using offline models. Only problem is GPU whirring away running typically light terminal commands.

Helping with complex Terminal commands/shell scripts is basically my #1 practical use-case for AI right now... especially if you use tools like JQ a lot. Saving keystrokes is a lifestyle, after all.

I am also a really big fan of Warp, and was even before they added the AI feature (the editor-style functionality is wonderful). For the record, the AI isn't always running in Warp, to use it you start a prompt with hash (#) and then ask for what you want and it presents options.

If I have to use a cloud service or create an account to use the terminal, it’s a no for me dawg.

Did warp ever follow through with allowing folks to use it without signing into your GitHub account?

To me this is complete nonsense

but they (warp) seem to be funding fzf ... which is good on their part, I guess.

I feel like every use case they showcase is useless if you remember the commands. And if you don't know a command, the classic googling until you find something that works usually does the trick.

the non AI features of warp, such as the modern editing and easy function creation, are more interesting to me than the AI features. I wish there was an open source terminal that felt this modern.

I have used AI to generate commands many times, but not often enough that I need it built into my terminal. I prefer my default terminal experience be more minimal.

Just use Ollama.

The AI can have access to a terminal in a docker container on my raspberry pi. If I’m convinced it’s trustworthy it might move up to a docker container on my desktop.

As long as AI is not being forced into the existing terminal standards, it's good, as you can just choose to not use a terminal with AI.

I'm likely going to try out Wave Terminal with a self hosted LLM. I think it may well be quite useful, just don't want to upload my entire command history to OpenAI.

I really enjoy Warp. It’s sleek and modern, plus it saves me a lot of time with its advanced autofill features. It also gives me helpful suggestions for minor edits if I’m making small errors that keep a command from running.

I haven’t used the chatbot, but I have found the user experience of the program to be better than most other terminals I’ve used before.

I'll just use ChatGPT standalone, lol. Or cheat.sh.

It might be helpful, I'm not going to rule out using it, but it's all going to happen on my machine and I'm not paying for it or logging in anywhere to use it AND it's going to talk cockney... "Oi oi, ya fuckin' muppet, you missed a semi-colon. Ya useless fuckin' nonce!"

Fish's autocomplete is enough for me. I do like having Copilot in my editor but I can't really think of a reason I'd need it in my terminal. Most of my time in the terminal is just installing things, git or moving things around and I have all those commands down as muscle memory.
