Terminal missing - "BlackBox" #1237

dreamcat4 posted onGitHub

Request: Add blackbox terminal

https://gitlab.gnome.org/raggesilver/blackbox

Not to be confused with gnome terminal - this is actually a different app!

BlackBox is writting in Vala, GTK4. And is a popular modern 3rd party alternative to the official gnome terminal (which is C++, much older program).

Kind Regards,


blackbox-terminal -- echo yolodoes not do what it should. Can you run a command in the terminal?

couple of things:

  1. it turns out my copy of this program was installed as a flatpak. so it would not see the program, unless via flatpak search and flatpak run

anyhow is installed via apt too now

  1. maybe that would not be a supported syntax for this terminal? the options....
$ blackbox-terminal --help
Usage:
  blackbox-terminal [OPTION…] [-- COMMAND ...]

Options:
  -v, --version               Show app version
  -w, --working-directory     Set current working directory
  -c, --command               Execute command in a terminal
  -h, --help                  Show help

(if any help) thanks for considering this

Well the term needs some xterm -e compatibility. The synopsis shows COMMAND. Therefore I assume I can pass this

you were right that... -- is not working (which i missed)

but the -c "command" works

there seems no -e option. although i am not sure how is different to -c as not familiar with those option
