Very nice. Close to what I want but not quite there yet. My goal is to have a terminal environment that is seamless between windows, mac, and linux while supporting the kinds of features a "modern" terminal should (colors, utf8, various fonts, etc)
Windows, AFAIK has a completely different terminal implementation, so I doubt you will ever get the same terminal working on unix-like and windows (modulo the WSL) But as for OS X kitty should be easy to port since it uses only cross platform libraries.
Yes, the hard part is replacing cmd.exe (i.e. making a terminal that works with windows programs). Making a terminal that works only with linux programs should be fairly simple, especially with WSL (windows linux subsystem)
Actually cmd.exe isn't the problem. conhost.exe is. Whatever you run on windows CLI, be it CMD, Powershell or BASH, it runs on conhost.exe. Even ConEmu and Console2 are just wrappers around it. The console host is getting better though. The latest W10 release supports arbitrary resizing of the screen atleast :)
In the next update we even get 24-bit color.
