If you're using Git Bash, WezTerm or the xterm that comes with Debian or Ubuntu 24.04, then yes, it can. Any server you SSH into can read what was on your screen before you connected, and the last file you had…
A plain Unix signal can't make that choice. In a normal shell, Ctrl+C never reaches the program as a key at all. The kernel turns it into SIGINT and hands it to every process in the foreground job, and…
You open a terminal many times every day, and most of the time, you follow the same five-minute sequence: get to your current project, run something inside the project, check the terminal prompt, open the file you had in mind.
If you are new to Linux, the first thing that feels strange is the folder layout. There is no C:\ drive. Everything starts from a single root directory: /. This is Part 1 of a series where I walk through the Linux filesystem…

Plugin and extension development for JetBrains products. Read this post in other languages: More and more of your terminal work now runs through tools that push the terminal harder than a shell prompt ever did: AI coding agents like Claude Code…
A terminal can feel slow for two very different reasons. Sometimes your command is doing expensive work. Sometimes the terminal is struggling to paint the output quickly enough to keep up. Those problems look similar when a screen fills with…
As part of my Linux learning journey, I spent time practising three terminal-based text editors: Nano, Vi and Vim. Before this exercise, I understood that text editors were used to create and modify files. However, I wanted to understand how they…
Most terminal dashboards force a compromise: either they are fast but rigid (compiled C/Rust with fixed layouts and hardcoded charts), or they are extensible but slow (heavy Python or Electron apps). To bridge this gap, I built Orbit (https://github.com/ziuus/orbit-tui)…
Prerequisites Make sure to copy examples/shell/configuration.template.properties, rename it as configuration.properties and fill with configuration data. Many shell action jobs invoke Bash scripts to execute Spark or Hive jobs. These Bash scripts are often stored in…
Code editors, IDEs, terminals, formatting, linting, and the tooling that makes developers fast.
