* being able to submit shell commands as individual lists of arguments rather then a line of text that is parsed by a shell.

* do something intelligently with non-text data or structured text. Like if it's html then parse it and display it usefully. Or if it it's binary data display a hexdump or detect it's mimetype and display that correctly. Stuff like that.

I suppose a few other things like integrate functionality like tmux or screen. Be able to subdivide the terminal and move sections between windows and close out and recall shells. Something beyond just tabs.. more organic were I can subdivide and tile terminals in a single window easier.

Integration of ssh would be nice. Take advantage of some openssh features like ControlPath/ControlMaster. So that I could open a terminal directly into a ssh shell. Be able to change the view to pull up a application menu (the terminal should be able to pull up a menu from the desktop.menu on systems that support it.) for launching X applications or be able to right click and go into a nautilus file browser and such things. Create tunnels and open extra sessions. That way I only need to create a single ssh session, but be able to take advantage of it in a easy way.

Something equivalent to a browser history would be nice. The 'history' dot files have a number of limitations. I should be able to recall sessions and see the commands I ran and, if possible, what systems I ran them on. Date stamps, see commands grouped by sessions, and such things.
