Love it!

It would be nice if `~` was mapped to home directory (e.g. `cd ~/Desktop`)

Hard to resize windows. If I want to grab the right edge there is only 1 pixel to work with.

When printing with `cat` from terminal, it would be nice if there was a new line at the end of the text. The prompt shows up on the same line as cat's output.

Copy-paste from clipboard into puter instance.

How do I get python on here?



We have a separate repo where you can submit issues related to the shell: https://github.com/HeyPuter/phoenix/issues

If a file doesn't have a newline at the end then `cat` will immediately start writing the prompt after the last line; this is the same behavior you'd expect from sh or bash. We might later improve this by having a "no newline"-indicator in the promptline instead.
