Proposal: Replace the forked PTY code with upstream KDE/kpty

[librehat]

Expected Behavior

This project was forked from the old Konsole code. These days, KDE Frameworks have been modularised and kpty is a maintained project with minimal dependencies (ECM and Qt) that could replace the old forked PTY code in this project.

Current Behavior

Old forked PTY/KPTY

Possible Solution

Replace the part of the current implementation with the upstream KDE/kpty library

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

N/A

Context

A possible solution to the lacking of Konsolewidget while lightening up the maintenance of this project

System Information

N/A

I'm willing to send in a PR but want to first see how everyone feels about this proposal

Thanks for bringing this up. Moving to KPty has been discussed some time ago in lxqt/qterminal#320, and there is a WIP branch in https://github.com/lxqt/qtermwidget/tree/kpty. However, there are different opinions in the aforementioned issue.

Closing as a duplicate.
