Scanline Term 0.1.4

Screenshot_21 Screenshot_14

Initial pre-release of Scanline Term — retro-futuristic CRT terminal emulator for Windows with AI assistant + built-in minimalist web-browser built around keyboard-centric workflow.

Features

  • Authentic CRT Simulation (Optional): Custom WebGL pipeline with scanlines, shadow mask, bloom, phosphor persistence/decay, curvature, vignetting, etc.
  • Multitasking & Tabs: Multi-session terminal tabs alongside built-in browser tabs.
  • Keyboard-Driven Embedded Browser: Native child WebView2 tabs engineered specifically for a keyboard-first terminal workflow. Open URLs instantly via shortcut (Menu + B) or command-line arguments, switch between terminals and web documentation (Menu + 1...9), and close tabs (Menu + W) without touching the mouse. Application shortcuts are intercepted and bridged at the native boundary so remote web pages never capture or block your navigation keys.
  • Windows ConPTY Integration: Native ConPTY engine supporting PowerShell, CMD, FAR Manager, WSL, and console utilities with Win32 input mode support.
  • Global Hotkey: Quick show/hide toggle from anywhere via Win + ~.
  • Color Profiles & Customization: Curated palettes (Amber, Green Phosphor, C64, Cyberpunk, etc.) and real-time shader adjustments.
  • AI Assistant Integration: Embedded Codex assistant with terminal execution routing.

Note: The Menu key refers to the Application / Context Menu key (usually located on the lower right row between Alt/Win and Ctrl).
