Terminus Bash

Browse

One of the ways Terminus can be used in scripting is the generation of variables. In the example below, we use the output of terminus multidev:list to create an environment variable with all our multidev environments. Are you a secret smoothbrain who doesn't know the difference between a terminal emulator and bash? Find out the difference here so you don't look like a brai.

Installation

Terminus Bashar

Package Control.

Getting started

run Terminus: Open Default Shell in Tab
OdatNurd has made several videos on Terminus. See, for examples,
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etIJMVIvVgg (most up to date)

Shell configurations

Terminus comes with several shell configurations. The settings file should be quite self explanatory.

User Key Bindings

You may find these key bindings useful. To edit, run Preferences: Terminus Key Bindings.Check the details for the arguments of terminus_open below.

toggle terminal panel

open a terminal view at current file directory

or by passing a custom cmd, say ipython

open terminal in a split view by using Origami's carry_file_to_pane

ctrl-w to close terminal

Following keybinding can be considered if one wants to use ctrl+w to close terminals.

User Commands in Palette

Bash For Windows

run Preferences: Terminus Command Palette. Check the details for the arguments of terminus_open below

or by passing custom cmd, say ipython

open terminal in a split tab by using Origami's carry_file_to_pane

Terminus Build System

It is possible to use Terminus as a build system. The target terminus_exec is a drop in replacement of the default target exec. It takes exact same arguments as terminus_open except that their default values are set differently.

terminus_cancel_build is used to cancel the build when user runs cancel_build triggered by ctrl+c (macOS) or ctrl+break (Windows / Linux).

The following is an example of build system define in project settings that run a python script

The same Hello World example could be specified via a .sublime-build file.

Instead of cmd, user could also specify shell_cmd. In macOS and linux, a bash shell will be invoked; and in Windows, cmd.exe will be invoked.

Alt-Left/Right to move between words (Unix)

Bash: add the following in .bash_profile or .bashrc
Zsh: add the following in .zshrc

Some programs, such as julia, do not recognize the standard keycodes for alt+left and alt+right. You couldbind them to alt+b and alt+f respectively“json[ { 'keys”: [“alt+left”], “command”: “terminus_keypress”, “args”: {“key”: “b”, “alt”: true}, “context”: [{“key”: “terminus_view”}] }, { “keys”: [“alt+right”], “command”: “terminus_keypress”, “args”: {“key”: “f”, “alt”: true}, “context”: [{“key”: “terminus_view”}] }]

The fields cmd and cwd understand Sublime Text build system variables.

the setting view.settings().get('terminus_view.tag') can be used to identify the terminal and
keybind can be binded with specific tagged terminal

text can be sent to the terminal with

If tag is not provided or is None, the text will be sent to the first terminal found in the current window.

FAQ

Memory issue

It is known that Terminus sometimes consumes a lot of memory after extensive use. It is because Sublime Text keeps an infinite undo stack. There is virtually no fix unless upstream provides an API to work with the undo stack. Meanwhile, users could execute Terminus: Reset to release the memory.

Color issue when maximizing and minimizing terminal

It is known that the color of the scrollback history will be lost when a terminal is maximized or minimized from or to the panel. There is no fix for this issue.

Terminal panel background issue

If you are using DA UI and your terminal panel has weired background color,try playing with the setting panel_background_color in DA UI: ThemeSettings.

Cmd.exe rendering issue in panel

Sublime Terminal Git Bash

Due to a upstream bug (may winpty or cmd.exe?), there may be arbitrary empty lines inserted between prompts if the panel is too short. It seems that cmder and powershell are not affected by this bug.

This package won't be possible without pyte, pywinpty and ptyprocess.
