Caanoo-Termlua2X : Terminal Emulator For Caanoo

[zx-81]

Hi All,

Here is a version for the caanoo of the famous terminal emulator termlua2x.
All characters of the usb keyboard and all caanoo keys are now supported.

How to use it ? Everything is in the README file.

This package is under GPL Copyright, read COPYING file for more information about it.

Enjoy,

Zx

Thanks, this works well for me (previous Caanoo-Termula2x did not). The top-most line of text in the terminal is still cut off though (for me & I gather from posts on this forum, others too?).

Very glad to have a working terminal app for the device.

In this version, the first line of the screen is still cut off. Personally i don't mind, but i can compile a new version with a screen scrolled down from one line.

a new version is available on my blog, here is the changelog :


- fix issue with the first line that can't be read on the caanoo
- new command line options, for example to specify extra parameters or
commands to launch on startup with /bin/ash.

syntax: termlua2x [-help] [-ini filename] [args ...]
-help : this help
-ini filename: specify another ini/config filename
args .... : extra arguments for the ash shell

If you want to launch a shell script startup.sh you may use :
./termlua2x -c ./startup.sh

It could be useful to run binary commands that required a terminal, such as irssi, ncftp etc ...

This program is good to have but could be a lot better. The way the keys are seperated from eachother is not very helpful. I'd like to see something resembling a normal keyboard layout, touchscreen support, programmable macro buttons for key combinations (like Ctrl-A-D) and a hold button to allow for 2-character combinations.
