cool-retro-term

cool-retro-term is a good looking terminal emulator which mimics the old cathode display. ​

Installation

​ Install the cool-retro-term package or cool-retro-term-git^AUR for the development version. ​

Configuration

​

Key remapping

​ There are no gui or config file to change key mapping actions like copy/paste. ​ The /app/qml/main.qml contains key bindings for the terminal. So all you have to do is to bind your keys there and build the package. ​ The current master builds, but fails on cool-retro-terminal start with Cannot assign to non-existent property "blinkingCursor" message, see github issue. So the extra checkout step will be required. ​ The following code assume that you have PKGBUILD in current directory. ​
