ate - awesome terminal emulator

Is my personal terminal emulator tailor made for what I need and just what I need.

Goals:

• Work on X11
• Work on Wayland without XWayland
• Scrollback
• Reflow
• Emoji support
• Font resizing with ctrl-shift-plus/ctrl-shift-minus; ctrl-0 to reset the font size
• Compile time configuration

Non-Goals:

• Parsing configuration files

The application is trivial and maintaing your custom patch on top of this is likewise. I do not intend to change a lot nor do I promisve compatibility with any of your changes.

Configuration

You can change the configuration by setting nixpkgs.config.ate or passing an attribute set named config.ate to callPackage.

Example:

ate = pkgs.callPackage path/to/this/repo/default.nix {
    config.ate = {
      options = {
        BLACK = "#000000";
        RED = ...;
        GREEN = ...;
        YELLOW = ...;
        BLUE = ...;
        MAGENTA = ...;
        CYAN = ...;
        WHITE = ...;
        BRIGHT_BLACK = ...;
        BRIGHT_RED = ...;
        BRIGHT_GREEN = ...;
        BRIGHT_YELLOW = ...;
        BRIGHT_BLUE = ...;
        BRIGHT_MAGENTA = ...;
        BRIGHT_CYAN = ...;
        BRIGHT_WHITE = ...;
        FOREGROUND_COLOR = ...;
        BACKGROUND_COLOR = ...;
        PIPECMD = path/to/a/command/which/processes/terminal/content/on/stdin;
      };
      keybindings = {
        RESET_FONT = "control+0";
        DECREMENT_FONT =
          "control+shift+underscore"; # Works like Control+Shift+Minus on qwerty and qwertz
        INCREMENT_FONT = "control+shift+plus";
        PASTE = "control+mod1+y"; # Mod1 == Alt
        PIPECMD = "control+mod1+u";
      };
    };
  };
