Telepipe

Run command-line apps smoothly.

Telepipe is a command-line shell for GNOME.

You can run command-line applications as you normally would in a terminal, with additional text processing capabilities. Output from commands is treated like a text editor, which means text can be dragged-and-dropped elsewhere, command output can be amended for clarity, and you can use the mouse to move the cursor when entering a command.

Telepipe also natively interfaces with the system clipboard, allowing its contents to be redirected into commands, command output to be copied to the clipboard automatically, or both.

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 lacking sophisticated features for modifying text. Copy the source text, then pipe it into the desired shell command pipeline, and paste the result back.

To reduce repetitive typing or editing of previous commands, Telepipe offers a feature called prefixes. When set, a prefix is prepending to all subsequent command lines issued by the user, and the prefix is displayed clearly. Prefixes allow Telepipe tabs to become contextual workspaces for working with specific applications such as Git, SSH, Docker, Podman, etc.

Telepipe can be installed on Linux through Flathub.
