This is a huge step backwards for terminal emulators. There is only one useless menu, and you can’t seem to do much. So I went to the manual (on Github — ugh) and of course got more lost there. I tried some keystrokes but none of them seemed to do anything. Someone make me a demo video to show me why this is any good.
