Xiki zooms through multiple levels in your filesystem without having to continually re-type ls or cd, or resort to clever regular expressions. One simple example of its speed is how it turbocharges the ls command. It has tons of on-screen help and is fast to navigate with the keyboard or mouse. Xiki has mouse support and runs in most command shells. Xiki is much more than yet another terminal emulator it’s an interactive environment for expanding the reach and speed of your command-line interface. Xiki is the brainchild of Craig Muth, talented programmer and funny man (funny as in humorous, and possibly other senses of the word as well). I wrote about Xiki so long ago, in Meet Xiki, the Revolutionary Command Shell for Linux and Mac OS X. When you’re in the mood to try something new, however, take a look at these five cool and useful Linux terminals.
Sure, we can get by with boring old GNOME terminal, Konsole, and funny, rickety, old xterm.
