textual-tty 0.0.5

A tty for Textual UIs

textual-tty

A terminal emulator for Textual apps.

Made by summarizing tmux's code, implementing a similar structure then almost vibe coding it into existence with Claude and Gemini.

Currently lacks a cursor, mouse, any decent debugging tools, and is too chatty, but it's still somewhat usable.

Demo

uvx textual-tty

Usage

There's 3 main classes:

1. textual_tty.Terminal, a standalone terminal that doesn't need Textual.
2. textual_tty.TextualTerminal, a tty widget subclass.
3. textual_tty.TerminalApp, a terminal emulator in a window.

See the demo for more info.
