Eternal Terminal (ET) is a remote shell that automatically reconnects without interrupting the session. ET uses SSH to initialize a secure connection. Unlike SSH sessions, which must be killed and reconnected after a network outage an ET session will survive network outages and IP roaming. ET provides the same core functionality as mosh, while also supporting native scrolling and tmux control mode (tmux -CC).

tmate is a terminal sharing application that allows you to share your terminal with other users over the Internet. tmate is a fork of tmux.

Libptytty is a small C/C++ library to manage pseudo-ttys in a uniform way, created out of frustration over the many differences of PTY/TTY handling in different operating systems.

In addition to mere PTY/TTY management, it supports updating the session database at utmp, and wtmp/lastlog for login shells.

It also supports forking after start-up and dropping privileges in the calling process. This reduces the potential attack surface: if the calling process were to be compromised by the user starting the program, there would be less to gain, as only the helper process is running with privileges (e.g., setuid/setgid).

foot is a terminal emulator for systems using the Wayland display server. It is designed to be fast, lightweight, and independent of desktop environments. It can be used as a standalone terminal and also has a server/client mode.

Kmscon is a terminal emulator based on Linux's KMS. It can replace the in-kernel VT implementation with a user-space console. Compared to the Linux console, kmscon provides enhanced features including XKB-compatible internationalized keyboard support, UTF-8 input/font support, hardware-accelerated rendering, multi-seat support, a replacement for mingetty, and more.

Termite is a minimal terminal emulator, with a slightly modified version of VTE exposing the necessary functions for keyboard text selection and URL hints. It was designed for use with tiling window managers.

This package provides a terminal emulator with hyperlink support. It's based on VTE and aimed at power users.

Use asciinema to record and share your terminal sessions, the right way. Forget screen recording apps and blurry video. Enjoy a lightweight, purely text-based approach to terminal recording.

Libtermkey handles all the necessary logic to recognise special keys, UTF-8 combining, and so on, with a simple interface.

Alacritty is a GPU-accelerated terminal emulator with a strong focus on simplicity and performance. With such a strong focus on performance, included features are carefully considered and you can always expect Alacritty to be blazingly fast. By making sane choices for defaults, Alacritty requires no additional setup. However, it does allow configuration of many aspects of the terminal. Note that you need support for OpenGL 3.2 or higher.

This package provides an interactive command-line filter usable with any list--including files, command history, processes and more.

Xiate is a terminal emulator which tries to keep a balance between features and simplicity. This is achieved by using VTE as a powerful backend, while UI, configuration, and code try to remain much more minimalistic.

This package provides multiplexer for the terminal focused on simplicity, compatibility, size and stability.

beep allows the user to control the PC speaker with precision, allowing different sounds to indicate different events. While it can be run quite happily on the command line, its intended place of residence is within scripts, notifying the user when something interesting occurs. Of course, it has no notion of what's interesting, but it's very good at that notifying part.

Havoc is a minimal terminal emulator for Wayland.

mlterm is a multi-lingual terminal emulator. It supports various complex character sets and encodings from around the world. It can display double-width (e.g. East Asian) glyphs, combining characters used for, e.g., Thai and Vietnamese, and bi-directional scripts like Arabic and Hebrew.

Kitty is a fast and featureful GPU-based terminal emulator:

• Offloads rendering to the GPU for lower system load and buttery smooth scrolling. Uses threaded rendering to minimize input latency.

• Supports all modern terminal features: graphics (images), unicode, true-color, OpenType ligatures, mouse protocol, focus tracking, bracketed paste and several new terminal protocol extensions.

• Supports tiling multiple terminal windows side by side in different layouts without needing to use an extra program like tmux.

• Can be controlled from scripts or the shell prompt, even over SSH.

• Has a framework for Kittens, small terminal programs that can be used to extend kitty's functionality. For example, they are used for Unicode input, hints, and side-by-side diff.

• Supports startup sessions which allow you to specify the window/tab layout, working directories and programs to run on startup.

• Allows you to open the scrollback buffer in a separate window using arbitrary programs of your choice. This is useful for browsing the history comfortably in a pager or editor.

tio is a simple TTY terminal application which features a straightforward commandline interface to easily connect to TTY devices for basic input/output.

This package provides a thin wrapper for fzf.

Tilda is a terminal emulator similar to normal terminals like gnome-terminal (GNOME) or Konsole (KDE), with the difference that it drops down from the edge of a screen when a certain configurable hotkey is pressed. This is similar to the built-in consoles in some applications. Tilda is highly configurable through a graphical wizard.

Cool-retro-term (crt) is a terminal emulator which mimics the look and feel of the old cathode ray tube (CRT) screens. It has been designed to be eye-candy, customizable, and reasonably lightweight.

FbTerm is a fast terminal emulator for Linux with frame buffer device or VESA video card. Features include:

• mostly as fast as terminal of Linux kernel while accelerated scrolling is enabled;

• select font with fontconfig and draw text with freetype2, same as Qt/Gtk+ based GUI apps;

• dynamically create/destroy up to 10 windows initially running default shell;

• record scrollback history for every window;

• auto-detect current locale and convert text encoding, support double width scripts like Chinese, Japanese etc;

• switch between configurable additional text encodings with hot keys on the fly;

• copy/paste selected text between windows with mouse when gpm server is running;

• change the orientation of screen display, a.k.a. screen rotation;

• lightweight input method framework with client-server architecture;

• background image for eye candy.

Sakura is a terminal emulator based on GTK+ and VTE. It's a terminal emulator with few dependencies, so you don't need a full GNOME desktop installed to have a decent terminal emulator.

Kmscon is a terminal emulator based on Linux's KMS. It can replace the in-kernel VT implementation with a user-space console. Compared to the Linux console, kmscon provides enhanced features including XKB-compatible internationalized keyboard support, UTF-8 input/font support, hardware-accelerated rendering, multi-seat support, a replacement for mingetty, and more.
