Great to see someone rethinking what running command line programs could look like! Too often the shell or terminal is just replaced with a reimplementation of roughly the same thing.
Warp seems to be the most serious attempt in this direction but takes a more conservative approach and doesn’t reinvent as much.
I can think of a couple of interesting possible variants of a shell such as this:
1) The text grid is probably not necessary for the shell itself to use, so you could have the input box be a normal text editor with mouse support for instance. You could even potentially manage running and completed programs via a more conventional GUI.
2) I often deal with remote machines, it would be nice if the shell had support for running commands on remote machines (reconnecting if the connection is dropped, running the same command over a set of machines, etc)

Great work on this new shell!
