It’s pretty much the course, however, with regards to Open Source applications. In a way, it’s also an open-source program considering that the current version is 0.73. It has the same limitations and general guidelines as any other program that doesn’t provide paid support. Similar to Tera Term, PuTTy is another Open Source terminal program.

Press Ctrl+T, as normal, or press Ctrl+N to open a new Hyper window. But wait: Hyper is powered by Chromium, and some familiar Chrome-type features are just a tap or two away. Launch the program and it's not immediately obvious what this means, as all you get is what appears to be a regular command prompt with a slightly different font and window style.
