Open Source C++ Terminals

Project has been moved to https://github.com/marchaesen/vcxsrv Windows X-server based on the xorg git sources (like xming or cygwin's xwin), but compiled with Visual C++ 2012 Express Edition. Source code can also be compiled with VS2008, VS2008 Express Edition and VS2010 Express Edition, although current project and makefile are not fully compatible anymore. Versions starting from 1.14.3.0 are not compatible with Windows XP anymore.

The Null-modem emulator (com0com) is a kernel-mode virtual serial port driver for Windows. You can create an unlimited number of virtual COM port pairs and use any pair to connect one COM port based application to another. The HUB for communications (hub4com) allows to receive data and signals from one COM or TCP port, modify and send it to a number of other COM or TCP ports and vice versa.

The Windows Terminal is a new, modern, fast, efficient, powerful, and productive terminal application for users of command-line tools and shells like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL.

Xming is the leading X Window System Server for Microsoft Windows 8/7/Vista/XP (+ server 2012/2008/2003). It is fully featured, small and fast, simple to install and because it is standalone native Microsoft Windows, easily made portable (not needing a machine-specific installation).

TeraTerm Project is developing the terminal emulator Tera Term and the SSH compatible extension module TTSSH. This is open source software under the BSD license. This is the official successor to the original Tera Term Pro 2.3. Development takes place on the project page on GitHub.

Cmder is a lovely portable console emulator package for Windows. It was built out of sheer frustration due to the lack of nice console emulators on Windows. It is based on the amazing ConEmu, with major config overhaul, enhancements from Clink, Monokai color scheme and a custom prompt layout. Overall, it's got a very pleasant user interface that's much improved from ConEmu. The biggest advantage with cmder is that it is portable. It was designed to be totally self-contained, totally free of external dependencies. This makes it perfect for USB Sticks or cloud storage, so you can have your settings, aliases, binaries and history wherever you go.

ScriptCommunicator is a scriptable cross-platform data terminal that supports serial port (RS232, USB to serial), UDP, TCP client/server, SPI, I2C, and CAN. All sent and received data can be shown in a console and can be logged in an html and a text log. In addition to the simple sending and receiving of data, ScriptCommunicator has a JavaScript interface. This script interface has the following features: - Scripts can send and receive data with the main interface. - In addition to the main interface scripts can create and use their own interfaces (serial port (RS232, USB to serial), UDP, TCP client, TCP server, PCAN, and SPI/I2C). - Scripts can use their own GUI (GUI files which have been created with QtDesigner (is included) or QtCreator). - Multiple plot windows can be created by scripts (QCustomPlot developed by Emanuel Eichhammer is used)

Console is a Windows console window enhancement. Console features include: multiple tabs, text editor-like text selection, different background types, alpha and color-key transparency, configurable font, different window styles

Arabeyes is a Meta project that is aimed at fully supporting the Arabic language in the Unix/Linux environment. It is designed to be a central location to standardize the Arabization process. Arabeyes relies on voluntary contributions.

ConEmu-Maximus5 aims to be handy, comprehensive, fast and reliable terminal window where you may host any console application developed either for WinAPI (cmd, powershell, far) or Unix PTY (cygwin, msys, wsl bash). As Windows console window enhancement (local terminal emulator), it presents multiple consoles and simple GUI applications as one customizable tabbed GUI window with various features. Also, due to deep integration, ConEmu is the best companion for Far Manager, my favorite shell replacement. Disclaimer. ConEmu is not a shell, so it does not provide "shell features" like tab-completion, command history and others. But you can run any shell or remote access client of your choice in ConEmu! Try Clink for bash-style completion in cmd.exe and PSReadLine or PowerTab in powershell.exe. Or just run Bash from your favourite distro. Also, ConEmu does not provide remote access (SSH/Telnet/...) too, just use your remote client (ssh.exe, telnet.exe) instead.

A full-featured utility for managing Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Configure default user, environment variables and various flags. Export configuration to an XML file and import from the file. Export an installation to a tar file. Install any Linux distro to any directory on your computer. Register an existing installation directory. This enables you to install to a USB stick and use it on different computers. The right-click menu feature requires the shell extension DLL to be properly registered. This is automatically done if you used Chocolatey to install this project. This project uses CMake as its build system. MinGW GCC and Visual C++ compilers are supported.

cool-retro-term is a terminal emulator which mimics the look and feel of the old cathode tube screens. It has been designed to be eye-candy, customizable, and reasonably lightweight. It uses the QML port of qtermwidget (Konsole). This terminal emulator works under Linux and macOS and requires Qt 5.2 or higher. Settings such as colors, fonts, and effects can be accessed via context menu. Just grab the latest AppImage from the release page and make it executable and run it. Make sure to install the dependencies first. Once you installed all dependencies (Qt is installed and in your path) you need to compile and run the application. Also, before the building process, remember to install Xcode and agree to the licence agreement.

Serial port assistant This is only a read-only mirror repository. Main repository: https://github.com/KangLin/SerialPortAssistant

This project now hosts the third-generation of Java SSH API, Maverick Synergy. This API builds on the Maverick Legacy commercial APIs and delivers a new API in a unified client/server framework. This API is available to the community under the LGPL open source license. This update includes ed25519 support, support for the new OpenSSH private key file format and stronger key exchange algorithms. The project continues to host both the original API and legacy applications created around it, however, these are now considered deprecated and we do not recommend their use in anyway.

This project has moved to GitHub. Search for QST there. The project will not be updated here, since SF is hard to work with. A QT-based serial terminal program. Works on Linux or Windows. Basic serial terminal for use with embedded systems.

ConEmu is not a shell, so it does not provide "shell features" like remote access, tab-completion, command history and others. ConEmu is an advanced console window where you can run any shell of your choice. However, some of these features have been placed in the RoadMap. You may also try Clink for bash-style completion in cmd.exe and PSReadLine or PowerTab in powershell.exe. You can easily run old DOS applications (games) in Windows 7 or 64-bit OS.
