Fyne Terminal
A terminal emulator using the Fyne toolkit, supports Linux, macOS, Windows and BSD.
Running on Linux with a custom zsh theme.
Running on macOS with a powerlevel10k zsh theme and classic style.
Running on Windows with PowerShell running inside.
Installing on command line
Just use the go get command (you'll need a Go and C compiler installed first):
go get github.com/fyne-io/terminal/cmd/fyneterm
Installing as an app
To get the app installed alongside your other applications (with metadata, icons etc),
use the fyne
tool, as illustrated below:
$ go get fyne.io/fyne/v2/cmd/fyne
$ fyne get github.com/fyne-io/terminal/cmd/fyneterm
TODO
There are lots of great things that could be added to this app. Already planned is:
- Tabs
- Scroll-back
- Background and font/size customisation
- Split panels
- Windows support
- Copy and Paste
Library
You can also use this project as a library to create your own terminal based applications, using the import path "github.com/fyne-io/terminal".
There are two modes, using the default shell (macOS and Linux) or connecting to a remote shell.
Local Shell
To load a terminal widget and launch the current shell (works on macOS and Linux)
use the RunLocalShell
method after creating a Terminal
, as follows:
// win is a fyne.Window created to hold the content
t := terminal.New()
w.SetContent(t)
go func() {
_ = t.RunLocalShell()
a.Quit()
}()
w.ShowAndRun()
Remote connection
For example to open a terminal to an SSH connection that you have created:
// session is an *ssh.Session from golang.org/x/crypto/ssh
// win is a fyne.Window created to hold the content
in, _ := session.StdinPipe()
out, _ := session.StdoutPipe()
go session.Run("$SHELL || bash")
t := terminal.New()
w.SetContent(t)
go func() {
_ = t.RunWithConnection(in, out)
a.Quit()
}()
w.ShowAndRun()
