I'd like to see the ability to move quicly and easily around full screen terminal applications, with the ability to know things like which row/column I'm on, be able to set regions of the terminal to read on commmand or silence, also awareness of inverted text serving as status bars as cursors, etc. I don't know if the terminal has native support for searching the history, but that would be incredibly useful for me as a blind person. % ls ... 130 lines of output % <be able to search back for .login.TMP or whatever.> I realize I could do something like... % ls | grep login.TMP but this doesn't show me the context of what's around it, even using the -C grep flag. I hope this is enough to inspire. Jim On Tue, Jul 16, 2019 at 06:53:19PM +0000, Billy Irwin wrote:
Hi Ryan,
I would love to see it look like an instant message window if that makes sense. Have a text box where you can type commands and another to view the output. This way you can move through the output and view it without needing to go for example into a JAWS cursor. Hope this helps.
Best,

Hello everyone: I wanted to throw a question out to everyone. As we are working with the new Windows Terminal product to insure it is accessible and works well with assistive technologies, I wanted to reach out to this list and find out what would be the ideal terminal experience for you? What would you be looking for and want in a new terminal program from an accessibility standpoint, something that would set it aside from the rest and really make it an enjoyable experience to use, not just something you can use? I'm definitely going to bring the feedback to the Windows Terminal team, and while I can't guarantee it will all be acted on, it will certainly help set a direction and way to move forward. Thanks much. Ryan
