Uses fork of node-pty native code for forking pseudoterminals.
Uses libuv pipe handle to communicate with the child process.
- Paves the way for cross-platform (Linux, macOS and Windows) support.
- Renames Pseudoterminal to PTY (which is much easier to type and spell :D).
- Better performance than the old Pseudoterminal node. Especially when
streaming large amounts of data such as running the `yes` command.
- Allows setting custom file, args, initial window size, cwd, env vars
(including important ones such as TERM and COLORTERM) and uid/gid
on Linux and macOS.
- Returns process exit code and terminating signal.
Most notably:
- Reflow is now working. Terminal size will fill the window and
cols/rows will be resized/calculated based on window and font size.
- Added support for different fonts (i.e. bold, italic, bolditalic).
- Enabled blinking characters.
- Adde more tests and caught a few subtle bugs.
- Removed renderer code (which was part of xterm.js) and just
doing naive rendering in terminal.gd, but it seems to perform
a lot faster.
Still not working completely:
- vim (some weirdness going on).
- vttest (more weirdness).
Todo:
- Fix the above.
- Draw the cursor!
- Improve performance. Performance is still not great. The terminal
becomes unusable when running `yes` or `cmatrix -r`.
