tinyterminal

Terminal emulator for the Linux desktop, built for those of us that live in the terminal.

tinyterminal is a terminal emulator app for Linux desktop users who live in the terminal and want an interface made of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript they can read and change. It opens tabs, each a login shell on its own PTY, follows the desktop's light or dark theme, and applies flow control that slows a flooding program instead of buffering its output. It is written in Python and JavaScript; find the source mirror at github.com/stricttools/tinyterminal.

Python, JavaScript app 0.1.0

uv tool install --python /usr/bin/python3 tinyterminal

What it is

Terminal emulator for the Linux desktop, built for those of us that live in the terminal.

It is for Linux desktop users who want a terminal whose whole interface is HTML, CSS and JavaScript they can read and change.

What it does

Tabs, each its own login shell on its own PTY, titled from the OSC 0/2 title the shell sets
Light and dark, both faces of the GNOME palette; on system the window follows the desktop's setting live
The fastest renderer that works -- xterm's WebGL addon where a webgl2 context exists, falling back to the canvas addon
Flow control that reaches the shell -- the server stops reading a PTY once 1 MiB is unacknowledged by xterm's parser
Its own window chrome -- frameless and transparent, with the rounded card the page draws as the window silhouette
Clipboard through navigator.clipboard, falling back to the desktop's own clipboard through GDK
