What the hell is a cowmonk?
What is cowterm?
cowterm is a really simple terminal that is written in pure C, using Xorg Libraries. I don't recommend anyone seriously using this. If you wish to, then good luck I guess? Here are some features that are in cowterm:
- You can kill processes in it using Ctrl+C
- Yes, this had to be manually implemented
- You can clear it using Ctrl+L
- It won't clear if you type in "clear"
- You can delete everything behind the cursor using Ctrl+U
- Essentials amirite?
- It can be resized
- So many Segfaults to get to this revolutionary moment
- It's hella lightweight
- like seriously, it is only like >1k sloc so like no ram usage at all
Here are some downsides upsides to using cowterm:
- no scrolling
- who needs it amirite? bloat booo
- boot it up like a chainsaw
- Might segfault once or twice before it actually decides to work, I have no idea how to fix this
- Fonts are hell to configure
- No wayland
- Actually this might be the best "feature" yet
Missing critical features for a terminalRemoved lots of bloat
