Terminal now modal, supports line buffering, stdin, because it uses pty (and threading). Also supports paste, again (?). Audio player queueing no longer blocks, supports appending. Now can change window size. Halfscreen window shortcut improved. Eliminate dirs dep, deconstruct audiotags dep, better feature flags. Remove .alpha files because they are built. Use /home/jondough for default dirs if possible. Themes config. Fix for rotated touchscreen. Write more docs

A basic, line-buffered, modal terminal.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
The terminal displays the current mode in the lower left corner. The possible modes are "INPUT", "RUNNING", "STDIN".
|
|
|
|
The terminal starts off in INPUT mode, which allows entering commands to run. If `$HOME` is set, the starting directory is that. Otherwise, it is root (`/`).
|
|
|
|
In INPUT mode, commands can be freely typed. There are a few special control sequences:
|
|
|
|
- `ctrl+p`: Brings up the last run command to the command input
|
|
- `ctrl+n`: Clears the command input
|
|
|
|
Once a command is entered, hit 'enter' to execute it. The terminal will change into "RUNNING" mode. In this mode, clicking any key except for 'i' will result in the terminal writing the current output of the running command to the window (`ctrl+c` will force the process to exit). It will also check if the command has exited, in which case the INPUT mode is returned to. Clicking the 'i' key will change the terminal to "STDIN" mode.
|
|
|
|
In STDIN mode, any keys typed followed by the 'enter' key will send those keys to the command's STDIN, if it is still running. To escape STDIN mode, use the `esc` key.
|
|
|
|
## Copy / Paste
|
|
|
|
This window-like supports the paste [shortcut](../system/shortcuts.md) (`Alt+P`) if in INPUT or STDIN mode.
