A simple terminal emulator currently under heavy development.
Requires xkbcommon, xcb, pango, cairo and a C++11 compiler.
Brief build instructions (see notes below on setting up a configuration file or your fonts might suck):
# Build
./configure ./build debug gnu
cd build
make
# launch a standalone window:
./dist/bin/terminol
# or launch the daemon (FIFO is /tmp/terminols-${USER}, by default)
./dist/bin/terminols
# and start windows with:
./dist/bin/terminolc
# Install binaries
make INSTALLDIR=/usr/local install
Noteworthy Features:
-
Reflowed text.
-
Scrollback history deduplication.
-
24-bit colour support.
-
Client server model (run terminols and then terminolc to spawn windows).
-
Lean and mean.
To come:
-
Wayland support (designed with portable front-end).
-
Filtering (regex highlight of patterns with associated actions).
-

# ${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS...}/terminol/config
# ${HOME}/.config/terminol/config
