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

What isn't supported?

• Suspend/Continue (^S, ^Q). This is archaic bullshit that annoys more people than it helps. Basically:


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.

Platform Support

Platform	Supported
Linux	✔
MacOSX	⏳
Windows	⏳

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

Keyboard Shortcuts

Operation	Key(s)
Paste	ctrl + shift + v
Toggle slomo	ctrl + shift + ;
Interrupt (SIGINT)	ctrl + c

Configuration

Raft looks for a config file in ~/.raft.toml, and will write one there the first time it runs, if it doesn't already exist.

You can ignore the config and use defauls by specifying --ignore-config as a CLI flag.

Config Options/CLI Flags

CLI Flag	Config Section	Config Name	Type	Default	Description
--debug	root	debug	boolean	false	Enable debug mode, with debug logging and debug info terminal overlay.
--slomo	root	slomo	boolean	false	Enable slomo mode, delay the handling of each incoming byte (or escape sequence) from the pty by 100ms. Useful for debugging.
--always-repaint	rendering	always_repaint	boolean	false	Redraw the terminal GUI constantly, even when no changes have occurred.
