This is a minimal example of getting a terminal running in Electron using node-pty and xterm.js.

Usage

# Install npm dependencies using Electron's version of V8
./npm_install.sh
# Launch the app
npm start

Each plugin should have:

Custom key listeners (i.e. cmd+S for save)

Instructions for how it should look / where it should go.

Plugins can be written for other plugins:

Just specify the parent plugin

Restructure so everthing is a component.

Basic idea here is that you "parse" elements as they come in.

Build a sort of context free grammar for the layout, the idea being that things on the RHS need not be aware of the state on the LHS.

root -> tab tab ... tab | pane (only 1) tab -> pane pane ... pane pane -> shell shell -> editor ipython xterm finder (0-1 times)

tab: listeners for switch tab event, sleeps tabs that aren't currently running

pane: listeners for switch between apps event

shell: no listeners, but passes pane listeners down

editor: runs events through pane listeners

def build(layout_tree, parent): for child in children: parent.compose(child) build(child.children, child)
