What Terminus is and isn't

• Terminus is an alternative to Windows' standard terminal (conhost), PowerShell ISE, PuTTY or iTerm

• Terminus is not a new shell or a MinGW or Cygwin replacement. Neither is it lightweight - if RAM usage is of importance, consider Conemu or Alacritty

Terminal features

• A V220 terminal + various extensions
• Multiple nested split panes
• Tabs on any side of the window
• Optional dockable window with a global spawn hotkey ("Quake console")
• Progress detection
• Notification on process completion
• Bracketed paste, multiline paste warnings
• Font ligatures
• Custom shell profiles
• Optional RMB paste and copy-on select (PuTTY style)

SSH Client

• SSH2 client with a connection manager
• X11 and port forwarding
• Automatic jump host management
• Agent forwarding (incl. Pageant and Windows native OpenSSH Agent)
• Login scripts

Serial Terminal

• Saved connections
• Readline input support
• Optional hex byte-by-byte input and hexdump output
• Newline conversion
• Automatic reconnection

Portable

Terminus will run as a portable app on Windows, if you create a data folder in the same location where Terminus.exe lives.

Plugins

Plugins and themes can be installed directly from the Settings view inside Terminus.

• clickable-links - makes paths and URLs in the terminal clickable
• title-control - allows modifying the title of the terminal tabs by providing a prefix, suffix, and/or strings to be removed
• quick-cmds - quickly send commands to one or all terminal tabs
• save-output - record terminal output into a file
• scrollbar - adds a scrollbar to hterm tabs
• sync-config - sync the config to Gist or Gitee
