Raft is a modern terminal emulator utilising OpenGL.

The project is experimental at the moment, so you probably won't want to rely on Raft as your main terminal for a while.

Ensure you have your latest graphics card drivers installed before use.

Aims

• Full unicode support
• OpenGL rendering
• Full customisation options
• True colour support
• Support for commmon ANSI escape sequences a la xterm
• Scrollback buffer
• Clipboard access
• Clickable URLs
• Resize logic that wraps/unwraps lines correctly
• Bullshit graphical effects
• Multi platform support

Build Dependencies

• Go 1.10.3+
• On macOS, you need Xcode or Command Line Tools for Xcode (xcode-select --install) for required headers and libraries.
• On Ubuntu/Debian-like Linux distributions, you need libgl1-mesa-dev xorg-dev.
• On CentOS/Fedora-like Linux distributions, you need libX11-devel libXcursor-devel libXrandr-devel libXinerama-devel mesa-libGL-devel libXi-devel.

Planned Features

Feature	Done	Notes
Pty allocation	✔	Needs work for OSX + Windows
OpenGL rendering	✔
Resizing/content reordering	⏳
ANSI escape codes	⏳	Most of these are handled now
UTF-8 input	✔
UTF-8 output	✔	Works as long as the font in use supports the relevant characters.
Copy/paste		Paste working, no mouse interaction for copy
Customisable colour schemes	✔	Complete, but the config file has no entry for this yet
Config file	⏳	Minimal options atm
Scrolling	⏳	Infinite buffer implemented, need GUI scrollbar & render updates
Mouse interaction
Sweet render effects

Configuration

Raft looks for a config file in the following places: ~/.raft.yml, ~/.config/raft.yml (earlier in the list prioritised).

Example config:

debug: False

The following options are available:

Name	Type	Default	Description
debug	bool	False	Enables debug logging

Flags

Name	Type	Default	Description
--debug	bool	False	Enables debug logging
--ignore-config	bool	False	Ignores user config files and uses defaults
--always-repaint	bool	False	Redraw the terminal constantly, even when no changes have been made

Keyboard Shortcuts

Operation	Key(s)
Paste	ctrl + shift + v
