# Wez's Terminal
|
|
|
|
A terminal emulator implemented in Rust.
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
* Install `rustup` to get the *nightly* `rust` compiler installed on your system.
|
|
https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/install.html
|
|
* Build in release mode: `cargo build --release`
|
|
* Run it via either `cargo run --release` or `target/release/wezterm`
|
|
|
|
You will need a collection of support libraries; I built this incrementally
|
|
so far so I don't have a complete list. Please open an issue if you work
|
|
through and discover the full and proper list of packages for ubuntu:
|
|
|
|
* xcb and xcb-util development packages
|
|
* fontconfig
|
|
* harfbuzz
|
|
* freetype
|
|
|
|
## What?
|
|
|
|
Here's what I'm shooting for:
|
|
|
|
* A terminal escape sequence parser
|
|
* A model of a terminal screen + scrollback that is OS independent
|
|
* Textual and GUI rendering of the model
|
|
* A differential protocol for the model
|
|
|
|
This would manifest as a common core that could run as both a textual
|
|
terminal multiplexer and a gui terminal emulator, where the GUI part
|
|
could automatically provide a native UI around the remotely multiplexed
|
|
terminal session.
|
|
|
|
## Status / Features
|
|
|
|
These are in the done/doing soon category:
|
|
|
|
- [x] Runs on Linux with XCB
|
|
- [x] Scrollback (use mouse wheel and Shift Page{Up|Down})
|
|
- [x] True Color support
|
|
- [x] Color Emoji and font fallback (Note: currently assumes you have the Operator font!)
|
|
- [x] Paste selection via Shift-Insert
|
|
- [ ] xterm style selection of text with mouse
|
|
- [ ] Configuration file to specify fonts and colors
|
|
- [ ] Render underline, italic, bold, strikethrough
|
|
- [ ] Command line argument parsing / launching of user shell (currently runs only `zsh`!)
|
|
|
|
There's a good number of terminal escape sequences that are not yet implemented
|
|
and that will get fleshed out as the applications I use uncover them.
|
|
Similarly for key mappings.
|
|
|
|
Things that I'd like to see happen and that have no immediate priority
|
|
(contributions to get closer to these are welcomed!)
