Warp for Linux, Rust-based Terminal
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I generally agree with you.
I, personally, would like to see a terminal / shell / whatever with support of standard, modern text input: CTRL + Arrows to skip words, CTRL + SHIFT + Arrows to select whole words, deleting all of selected text etc. I find it baffling that the terminal – the main text input of my system – uses a different way of text input than any other text field.
~~Good news, your requirements already work in Konsole.~~
Edit: no
I just installed Konsole to try it out. CTRL + Arrows to jump between words works, but this also works in Blackbox and Gnome Terminal. :D
CTRL + SHIFT + Arrows for selecting words, SHIFT + Arrows for selecting characters, nor deleting selected text doesn’t work in Konsole, Blackbox, nor Gnome Terminal.
My bad, I was wrong. The selection mode in Konsole is indeed very wonky. From the manual:
I never realised that for most people terminals don't have intuitive shortcuts. But most terminals use Emacs shortcuts, so if you get used to that it becomes quite intuitive. I know those shortcuts are not universal, but it's not that the shortcuts aren't there, or that they didn't used a standard, it's just that the standard they use didn't become the standard most people are used to.
