QML interactive console widget

Is there a QML widget which behaves like an interactive console? (Or have I to build it manually somehow)

I want to built such console into my qml application - it should behave simmilar to standard unix terminals.

Solution

  • There is indeed! Check out https://github.com/Swordfish90/qmltermwidget/ or https://github.com/jorgen/yat.

    Here's a short example of how to use QMLTermWidget:

    QMLTermWidget {
    id: terminal

    font.family: "Monospace"
    font.pointSize: 12
    colorScheme: "cool-retro-term"

    session: QMLTermSession {
        id: mainsession
        initialWorkingDirectory: "$HOME"
    }

    Component.onCompleted: mainsession.startShellProgram();
}

    We're using QMLTermWidget in the Terminal app for Papyros if you're looking for an larger/more complete example of how to use it.
