Notification (Sound or visual)

[Unders0und]

It would be nice if we could be able to know when we receive a message while the tab is minimized (or when we're using another tab of the terminal itself).

I don't know if it's possible to make a sound through the app, though maybe the header of the terminal could show some sort of.. I don't know, star "*", just like when it happens when we let a command running and it finishes the task

well, I guess you got the idea

ah, yeah, I love this project, it's being extremely helpful to me o/ thanks a lot

Hey @Unders0und , my terminal (iTerm) makes a sounds 😂

We do do notifications for new messages, so it may just be the terminal you're using.

@tomquirk really? lol can I switch the terminal? I'm using the terminal that comes in with the Lubuntu and I don't know how to make it sound XD and it doesn't display anything at the header when I switch tab or minimize it

[tomquirk]

yeah I'm honestly not sure 🤔 Maybe have a read around for how other people get notifications on Ubuntu

@tomquirk I think a lot of people have the terminal bell disabled to avoid immediate mental break. It's also off by default in many terminals. I would suggest switching from using terminal bell to a package like play-sound or audio-play.

on ubuntu you can produce notification by calling notify-send "title" "body".
style of the notification in top-right corner in the screenshot is determined by i3wm I'm using.

not sure how this works on other distros (or win/mac) though
