SDL2 Terminal Emulator based on libsdl2, libvterm and SDL_fox.
Should be compatible with all POSIX compliant systems and probably also win32.
Originally developed as a standalone terminal emulator, meaning all of the vt100 and xterm behind the scenes management had been implemented from scratch. Turned out ok-ish, but a few edge cases kept failing. Did not want to go through 3000+ loc of cryptic csi sequence parsing and vt100 handling. Heard of libvterm and never looked back since. Don't reimplement the wheel.
Single source file, less than 1000 loc, kept as simple and minimal as possible.
- Clipboard handling (Copy+Paste)
- Visual terminal bell
- Blinking cursor
- Colors
- Font zoom on mousewheel/touchpad event
- Runtime selectable renderer backend (software, opengl, etc)
- window resize triggers buffer and child process resize
- Fast, due to SDL_fox prerendered font rendering
- Easily hackable by playing around with the accessible sourcecode
- Probably runs on a posix compliant toaster (if SDL supports it)
- Scrollback buffer
- Performance
- damage triggers full screen redraw, where partial update would be sufficient
- Install libsdl2, libsdlfox, make
git clone [REPOSITORY URL]- cd ./sdlterm
make- A wild sdlterm application should appear in the ./build directory
