term.js
A full xterm clone written in javascript. Used by tty.js.
⚠️ This project is no longer maintained ⚠️. For a maintained fork take a look at sourcelair/xterm.js.
Example
Server:
var term = require('term.js');
app.use(term.middleware());
...
Client:
window.addEventListener('load', function() {
var socket = io.connect();
socket.on('connect', function() {
var term = new Terminal({
cols: 80,
rows: 24,
screenKeys: true
});
term.on('data', function(data) {
socket.emit('data', data);
});
term.on('title', function(title) {
document.title = title;
});
term.open(document.body);
term.write('\x1b[31mWelcome to term.js!\x1b[m\r\n');
socket.on('data', function(data) {
term.write(data);
});
socket.on('disconnect', function() {
term.destroy();
});
});
}, false);
Tmux-like
While term.js has always supported copy/paste using the mouse, it now also supports several keyboard based solutions for copy/paste.
term.js includes a tmux-like selection mode (enabled with the screenKeys
option) which makes copy and paste very simple. Ctrl-A
enters prefix
mode,
from here you can type Ctrl-V
to paste. Press [
in prefix mode to enter
selection mode. To select text press v
(or space
) to enter visual mode, use
hjkl
to navigate and create a selection, and press Ctrl-C
to copy.
Ctrl-C
(in visual mode) and Ctrl-V
(in prefix mode) should work in any OS
for copy and paste. y
(in visual mode) will work for copying only on X11
systems. It will copy to the primary selection.
Note: Ctrl-C
will also work in prefix mode for the regular OS/browser
selection. If you want to select text with your mouse and copy it to the
clipboard, simply select the text and type Ctrl-A + Ctrl-C
, and
Ctrl-A + Ctrl-V
to paste it.
For mac users: consider Ctrl
to be Command/Apple
above.
