Telepipe is a graphical command-line shell for GNOME that offers a desktop-oriented way to run text-mode command-line programs.
Instead of acting like a conventional terminal emulator, it treats commands and their output as editable text, making it easier to move text between shell workflows and graphical applications.
When combined with standard command-line utilities for text processing, Telepipe’s clipboard redirection grants the capability to easily use advanced text editing even in text editors or other software applications lacking sophisticated features for modifying text. Telepipe makes it easy to copy text, pipe it into a shell command pipeline, and paste the result wherever it’s needed.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports clipboard redirection, allowing commands to read from the clipboard, write output back to the clipboard, or do both.
- Offers command prefixes that prepend reusable text to subsequent commands, helping with workflows involving tools such as Git, SSH, Docker, and Podman.
- Keeps a separate visual command history for each tab, making it easier to rerun or amend previous commands.
- Lets you drag and drop selected command output into new commands or into other applications.
