This time, the king came out of nowhere, and it is the new Microsoft Windows Terminal. But myth and reality have a tendency to exchange ideas, thus, every so often a new king emerges to rule them all. It offers everything you could ask from a terminal emulator, without the glitches of Cmder or Hyper. In my humble opinion, Terminator is a god-sent gift, which was my driver until recently. Thus, once every so often a new kind emerges to rule them all. But myth and reality have a tendency to exchange ideas. GNOME terminal, Terminator, Cmder, Hyper… many shell interfaces and terminal emulators that users swore by. Some offer better functionality, some offer convenience or extended customizability. This should be handled in the terminal and work with any shell.GNOME terminal, Terminator, Cmder, Hyper… many shell interfaces and terminal emulators that users swore by. I know I could place something like this inside my ~/.bash_logout to achieve what I want but that is just bad UX and specific to bash. This behavior should never be lost even if proposal number 2 gets implemented. On other related comments like this one the default behavior of never closing is suppose to exist to prevent a terminal from closing on startup because of a miss configuration on the shell. There already exists a closeOnExit option but I have it on always and the pane/tab does not close. Have a setting where I can bypass this behavior and close the pane/tab when the shell exits no matter the exit status of the last command.And of course implement the functionality of closing the pane/tab when the key is pressed. Where key could be enter, space or another sensible key. Replace the message with something like.There seem to be an action to close a pane here but this should have better default behavior. But now that splits are supported, closing a tab might mean loosing work since a tab might contain more than one terminal. When a terminal only support tabs, as it was before splits landed, this is not too problematic because I can open a new tab and close the dead one (not ideal but acceptable). But one question remains, how do I close a split pane after it got to that dead state? See screenshot. I agree that not closing the tab/pane on error is correct.
