Update: tty.js now includes experimental support for xterm mouse csi codes. This feature is slightly unstable right now. If you have problems with it, switch your TERM to linux.

A terminal in your browser using node.js and socket.io. Based on Fabrice Bellard's vt100 for jslinux.

WARNING: tty.js is not secure. Make sure nobody has access to your terminal but you. tty.js is also unstable right now.

The main goal of tty.js is to eventually write a full xterm emulator.

TERM is now set to xterm by default, if you experience any compatibility issues, try setting it to linux.

tty.js should ultimately be able to work on any unix that implements unix98 tty's and forkpty(3). tty.js builds on linux and osx, and it should build on NetBSD, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD as well. If you have trouble building, please post an issue.

The distance to go before full xterm compatibility.

• VT52 codes for compatibility
• All vt400 rectangle sequences
• Remaining DEC private modes
• Better (realtime) mouse tracking
• Miscellaneous sequences: cursor shape, window title
• Origin Mode, Insert Mode
• Proper Tab Setting
