Linux terminal should input and output HTML.
We'd get more eye-candy and clickable affordances like ad hoc menus, selectors, etc.
With Google Material like dictate we could get standardization to all the parameter-inconsistencies of the current command line tools.
Traditional text outputs would go to <PRE>.
Currently I have only one clickable affordance: open an URL with ctrl-right click.
Sometimes I'd like to have more: selectors, radiobuttons, etc.
Why does the terminal only have text and links to outside? – It could have more.
Like web pages.
Perhaps multiple (named) local pipes would be nice: |, |2, |name, etc. (Locality is currently possible with mkfifo name-`uuidgen`).
In the end there could be no distinction with GUI and command line.
We we could interact with #GUI
software interfaces with written #CLI commands.
#AI folks could provide #agents.
Or perhaps a #LLM #chatbot's could have GUI interfaces..
Or what do you think?
JavaScript security concerns exist.
I'd just love to see more rich terminal windows than those with text and links that we currently have 🙂
