textual-tty 0.4.0

A tty for Textual UIs

textual-tty

A terminal emulator for Textual apps, using bittty, my pure Python terminal emulator.

Terminals in your terminal: draggable, resizable windows running real ptys.

Demo

uvx textual-tty

Usage

from textual_tty import Terminal, TerminalWindow, Window

# A terminal as a plain widget: composes a bittty Board, never subclasses it.
yield Terminal(command="htop")

# Or in a draggable, resizable window that closes when the process exits.
yield TerminalWindow(command=["vim", "README.md"])

Terminal speaks the whole seam: bracketed paste, OSC palette/title/cwd/ clipboard/notifications, DECSCUSR cursor shapes, synchronized output, mouse reporting with drag-selection when the child isn't tracking, OSC 8 links (ctrl+click opens), and XTWINOPS — a child can move, raise, and resize its own window. Discrete events arrive as Textual messages; anything deeper is on terminal.board (the bittty emulator). Window is a bare-bones draggable/resizable window you can use for other things too.

Read the demo code (textual_tty/demo.py) for a working app.
