Lua-configurable terminal emulator

Tabby is a cross-platform terminal emulator and desktop application suite designed for managing command-line workflows and remote infrastructure. It provides a comprehensive environment for terminal session orchestration, allowing users to organize multiple active sessions through split panes and custom layouts. The application functions as a secure remote connection manager, supporting advanced authentication, port forwarding, and persistent network sessions via an asynchronous protocol layer. The project distinguishes itself through a modular plugin architecture that enables users to extend

multiple GNOME terminals in one window

Guake is a drop-down terminal emulator for Linux built on the VTE widget, designed to appear instantly with a single configurable hotkey. It mimics the quake-style console by sliding down from the top of the screen, supporting full-screen toggling and transparency. The terminal manages multiple sessions as named tabs, with automatic naming from the running command and customizable switching shortcuts. It also adapts to multi-monitor setups by placing the window on the monitor under the mouse cursor or a designated screen. Guake stands out with its ability to detect file paths and URLs in term

Upterm is a terminal emulator development project designed to render an interactive command-line interface. It provides emulation for standard terminals to maintain compatibility with complex command-line programs, text editors, and remote shells. The project focuses on shell workflow optimization through interactive command completion. This includes a state-driven suggestion engine that displays a suggestion box with command descriptions and expanded alias values while a user is typing. The system manages real-time input and output streams using pseudo-terminals and virtual terminal emulati
