Terminal¶

Working with LLMs tends to push you closer to the terminal. This is great for VS Code workflows, but less so if your primary IDE is Visual Studio Professional.

Emulator¶

The UI interfacing with Linux/WSL. Priorities: fast SSH connections, stable interface, and tab management.

Examples:

WezTerm
Kitty
Windows Terminal
VS Code Terminal

zsh¶

Useful resources:

https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide         # "better cd" command
zinit light zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting
zinit light zsh-users/zsh-completions
zinit light zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions
zinit light Aloxaf/fzf-tab

Easier navigation of the terminal for power users. Be mindful how you set it up since it can break your system. Not recommended for production systems; use for development.

tmux¶

Persistent session management (assuming the target machine does not reboot).
