This version of literm has been ported to work with the rMPP tablet. It uses xovi to load itself into xochitl. It depends on the qt-resource-rebuilder extension.
All the code responsible for merging into the system UI is stored in literm.qmd.
The font I added instead of the system default is hack
To build, run make.sh after setting up the XOVI_ROOT environmental variable, and sourcing the toolchain's env. file.
Since this project modifies the rM's UI, it is not version agnostic. To update from one version to another, change the values in literm.qmd.
This branch is built for 3.16.2.3. Feel free to try it on other versions, to see if it works.
To change terminal settings, please tap the top-right hand corner of the screen. A toolbar should open.
To install this on your rMPP:
- Install xovi (instructions)
- Download the
extensions.ziprelease file from the aforementioned page - Copy over the
qt-resource-rebuilder.sofile from the zip file into/home/root/xovi/extensions.d - Follow the instructions on how to rebuild the hashtab (instructions)
- Download
libliterm.sofrom this repository's releases and copy it over to the same directory - Run
xovi/startover SSH to restart everything.

literm is a terminal emulator for Linux first and foremost, but it is also usable elsewhere (on Mac). The design goal is to be simplistic while still providing a reasonable amount of features.
This probably won't eat your homework, but I'd treat it with a dose of caution all the same. It has seen a fair amount of real world use through fingerterm, but there may still be bugs lurking.
This having been said, feel free to give it a shot and file bugs - ideally with pull requests, but at the least with as much information about how to reproduce them as possible.
literm is implemented using QML to provide a fast, and fluid user interface. The terminal emulator side is in C++ (also using Qt). It is exposed as a plugin to allow reuse in other applications or contexts.
literm started off life as fingerterm, a terminal emulator designed for touch-based interaction, written by Heikki Holstila for the Nokia N9 and Jolla's Sailfish OS devices.
I decided to take it a bit further, specifically: giving it a desktop-friendly interface, adding some odd features here and there, and fixing things up as I found them.
It is also partly inspired by Yat, a terminal emulator by Jørgen Lind, but it does not share any code from it.
Notable changes since forking from fingerterm:
- Separate desktop UI (mobile UI is still intact)
- Rewritten terminal rendering using QtQuick rather than software rendering
- 24bit color support
- Improved parsing performance
- Support for underlined, italic, and blinking text attributes
- Support for bracketed paste mode (used by zsh and others), and other escapes
- Sends cursor scroll escapes when scrolling in applications like vim
