Yeah, I'd better like it if they didn't do that. This adds even more visual clutter.

Why is ^r not enough? Oh, wait, they blocked access to that.

So much for having a terminal in my IDE. It's not really a terminal anymore, or at least not in the sense that I'd call it a terminal, but more something that just barely fits the nomer of being a command+line interface.

You're free to turn it off, it's just an option.

I, for one, quite appreciate the redesign. Blocking ^r is too bad though, I tried the new terminal out a month or so ago, the redesign was nice and did feel optimized.

I ultimately switched back due to some issues with the autocompletion. I hope they've fixed these issues, things like makefiles would not autocomplete in this new terminal, while working fine in the 'old' terminal.

And here I was, thinking of implementing exactly that mechanism in an X terminal application. (haven't seen the JetBrains variant at all).
