<h3>What is it?</h3>
|
||||
<p>Terminology is a new terminal emulator. In fact as of the 12th
|
||||
of July 2012, it is only 1 month old, so all you see here is the
|
||||
result of some off-and-on work over approximately a month (so not
|
||||
full-time effort). This is an indicator of what is possible to do
|
||||
with EFL with some knowledge and effort in a fairly short space of
|
||||
time. This time included having to learn how terminal emulation
|
||||
works, pty's, escapes and so on and actually make a large selection
|
||||
of terminal applications work, so it's not perfect, but it's
|
||||
getting there.</p>

<p>Terminology is a new terminal emulator. It started life during a
|
||||
vacation in Thailand in June of 2012. So it is young and fresh, so
|
||||
it's not perfect, but it's getting there.</p>

<p>Links, full file paths and email addresses are "detected" in

the terminal when your mouse overs over them, providing a nice

application handle the link, or have Terminology handle it internally
|

for your viewing pleasure.</p>

<h3>Why use Terminology?</h3>
|
||||
<p>If you like your terminals to look nice, then this is the
|
||||
terminal for you. If you want to have a terminal that is
|
||||
expanding usability by placing content right at your fingertips and
|
||||
directly in-line without needing an external window popping up, then
|
||||
this is for you. If you want the same terminal you know and love
|
||||
to work in the framebuffer when away from X11, then this is for
|
||||
you. The mouse even works, as does video and animation, framebuffer, X11
|
||||
or in Wayland. If you like a terminal that scrolls more than 10
|
||||
times faster than gnome-terminal, much faster than Xterm or Konsole
|
||||
and as fast as URXVT, then this is for you. If you like to save
|
||||
memory compared to the big-desktop terminals (gnome-terminal and
|
||||
Konsole) then this is for you.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This project is not complete. It's barely a month old, but it
|
||||
has indications of where it will go. Try it out and see. Finally
|
||||
Enlightenment will have a terminal worth of calling its own.</p>
