This is so super delightful. I explored a similar space when I was first learning piano and was enjoying how freeing it is to have the melodies and mistakes sort of drift into the air.

In case the work proves useful to your endeavors: https://github.com/cj-dimaggio/transient-words

Why is that?
Natively Windows doesn't come with ssh no, but last I used it Git For Windows bundles a bunch of MinGW components, including ssh, which it calls out to.
That's one of the reasons I made the switch to iterm: https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-automatic-profile-switc...

The actual automatic profile switching can be a bit of a pain because you need to install the integration on each machine you ssh into. But iterm also gives you access to a bunch of proprietary escape codes, so I was able to just wrap ssh in an alias that would automatically change my terminal colors and display the ssh command as a badge in the corner to keep my dumb ass from accidentally screwing up a server.
