what makes foot interesting? i don't see anything that stands out in the list of features.

why would you want your terminal to be interesting??? it's a substrate -- it just has to work seamlessly, and it does.

interesting in the sense of "why should i bother switching?". the default terminal is good enough. what great features does foot have that make it worth switching? what does it do better than other terminals. i didn't see anything in the feature list that sounded useful to me.

incidentally i just discovered that my default terminal does not support copying the tmux selection into the desktop clipboard. so now i am going to switch to a terminal that does support that.

I'd have thought that would be tmux's job, not the terminal's.
