Terminology: The Ultimate Terminal

Our dear friend perseus He has started a new personal project, a blog to be more exact, and in one of his articles he tells us about Terminology.

And you will sayTerminology? Is that eaten? Let's see from our friend's own words what this is:

Terminology is the terminal emulator developed by the developers of Enlightenment to become part of the desktop environment E17. This terminal has been developed using the libraries EFL and emulates a vt100 slightly enlarged thanks to some extensions.

So far everything is very nice, but it turns out that this Terminal Emulator is not something like what we are used to seeing, some of its characteristics are:

  • Backgrounds for the terminal in formats: bmp, sgv, animated gif and videos.
  • Transparent backgrounds.
  • It has the feature of detecting a link such as url, file path or email address.
  • You can work with a 256 color gamut natively.
  • View PDF documents.
  • View images: bmp, sgv, animated gif.
  • View videos.
  • It has a bell or alarm, which is activated when a command is given that the terminal cannot recognize.

Here you can see a small video of the terminal in operation:

    : O Nice terminal, I tried it a little a few days ago. If e17 is like this without reaching version 1.0, how will it be when it does Oo

    What I loved was: "Development developed by developers" XD. I think I should correct my entry ¬¬ XD.

    PS: I corrected the video link 😛

    I love e17. It is light and very beautiful. What they need to do is develop basic applications such as a good file browser (I don't like the current one), video music player, a text editor, etc.

    It is a very nice terminal but I like how rustic my XD terminal is.

    I've used it for a while and it's nice to use a terminal like that.
    It's really worth a try.

    I don't know, with so many functions, I have the feeling that this terminal should not be very light, the other thing is that it does not look like the E17 applications will look in other environments.

      I thought the same thing. A terminal, I think, should be minimalist; and more if it is for E17. Anyway.

    If you could put this file in the ftp of DesdeLinux You would do a great favor because from the page where you put the link the download constantly stops.

    It is an interesting post, A terminal is very useful but also this terminal can be very versatile and entertaining. For example you can put a JPG with a Cheat Sheet or GIMP command or whatever else is useful. it looks very interesting.
