term.js-nextjs

term.js

- This repository removes the fs dependency for compatibility with the nextjs framework

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⚠️ This project is no longer maintained ⚠️.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.
