Comment on Wterm – A terminal emulator for the web

Comments

Wow, finally an alternative to xterm.js?

Ghostty-web exists and is even API compatible with xterm.js (same engine that powers Ghostty):

In fact, it looks like wterm's 12KB plugin doesnt offer full term emulation and uses ghostty to support everything else:

This seems like a useful discussion of the relationship between wterm and xtermjs: https://github.com/agent-of-empires/agent-of-empires/issues/...

It seems like a big problem that xtermjs has is iOS copy/paste, so I fixed that today [1].
