If you choose, you can use the xterm.js
terminal emulator instead of standard DomTerm emulator.
To do so, you must have built DomTerm with the --with-xterm.js
option to configure.
To open a terminal using xterm.js set the xtermjs setting to true.
You can have a mix of terminals, some with xtermjs=false
and some with xtermjs=true.
The main advantage of using xterm.js is that it is very fast.
Even faster if you specify xtermjs=webgl.
You still benefit from many DomTerm features,
including window managemenet with tabs and files;
session management; a nice way to connect to remote computers; and more.
The disadvantage of using xterm.js is that many features are not available - see this page for a summary of missing functionality.
The xterm.js option is experimental. Perhaps someday we can combine the speed of xterm.js with the functionality of DomTerm.
