deadpixi / libtmt Goto Github PK

This is not an issue but only a request for information.

I am considering using this library for Lite XL an editor derived from lite, written in Lua with a small core in C. I would like to use the library to implement a terminal emulator.

For the moment I am just starting to look around but it seems that libtmt could be a good fit. I may call the libtmt function from the C code and maybe wrap them into some Lua call, I have to figure out exactly.

The only thing is not entirely clear for me is how do you implement scrolling ?

Otherwise, if you have time, may you have a look at Lite XL and tell me if you think that libtmt could be a good library to implement a terminal emulator ?

I'm not sure I've implemented this the best way possible, but MurphyMc/libtmt@996cd9e is a (working) first attempt at it. Thoughts?

(This was done to support the related feature in Antsy, though now that I've noticed it, I'm wondering if I should have based the terminal code on mtm instead...)
