I would first like to point out that the HyperTerm OSX zip is 43mb, and the unzipped HyperTerm.app is 123mb. The hard part isn't drawing characters to the screen (which is what HTML and CSS would help with), it's the VT100 parsing and logic, which can be written in.well, anything, really.
Tab title not changing hyperterm software#
Hey, I have a few issues with your attitude.įirstly, if there is one piece of software that I want to be fast, lightweight, and most importantly secure, it's my terminal emulator. How do terminal emulators on tablets handle keyboard input? Do any of them offer guided hints? But it'd still need information about the underlying environment (easy if local, hard if remote). I could see this being pulled into the terminal, rather than the shell itself. This'd be equivalent to the hints on many mobile OS keyboards. And you'd want to collect the users history to customize it. Might be able to grab these from man/info pages, but formatting is likely inconsistent. You'd want usage statistics on common commands, and you'd need to assemble a database of command line options. Others are showing other matches of the currently typed value + one letter. `cat` first because of frequency of use (in general) and recent use. This could be wrapped up in the terminal, but needs to be aware of the environment in which it's being executed which moves beyond the purview of most terminal emulators and into the area of the shell itself. This would be filled in based off of common usage, and knowledge of binaries avialable in the path, knowledge of the command line arguments of common tools (git-prompt.sh is really nice for getting my new-to-git coworkers started, for instance). Use the model of something like is common with a lot of MUD clients, all text input occurs in a field at the bottom (look at tinyfugue).īelow that have a set of autocomplete hints. Something like what Reason does for OCaml, but done for the the unix command line.

A teaching shell might be more important.
