-# term.js
+# xterm.js
-A full xterm clone written in javascript. Used by
-[**tty.js**](https://github.com/chjj/tty.js).
+
-## Example
+Xterm.js is a full xterm clone, written in JavaScript.
-Server:
+It is used at [SourceLair](https://www.sourcelair.com/home) to help people develop their applications in their browsers.
-``` js
-var term = require('term.js');
-app.use(term.middleware());
-...
-```
+Xterm.js supplies a modular, event-based interface that lets developers build addons and themes on top of it.
+
+
+
+## Browser Support
+
+Since xterm.js is typically implemented as a developer tool, only modern browsers are supported officially. Here is a list of the versions we aim to support:
+
+- Chrome 48+
+- Edge 13+
+- Firefox 44+
+- Internet Explorer 11+
+- Opera 35+
+- Safari 8+
+
+xterm.js may work on earlier versions of the browsers but these are the browsers we strive to keep working.
+
+## Demo
-Client:
+To launch the demo simply run:
-``` js
-window.addEventListener('load', function() {
- var socket = io.connect();
- socket.on('connect', function() {
- var term = new Terminal({
- cols: 80,
- rows: 24,
- screenKeys: true
- });
+```
+npm install
+npm start
+```
- term.on('data', function(data) {
- socket.emit('data', data);
- });
+Then open http://0.0.0.0:3000 in a web browser (use http://127.0.0.1:3000 is running under Windows).
- term.on('title', function(title) {
- document.title = title;
- });
+## Addons
- term.open(document.body);
+Addons are JavaScript modules that attach functions to the `Terminal` prototype to extend its functionality. There are a handful available in the main repository in the `addons` directory, you can even write your own (though they may break when the internals of xterm.js change across versions).
- term.write('\x1b[31mWelcome to term.js!\x1b[m\r\n');
+To use an addon, just include the JavaScript file after xterm.js and before the `Terminal` object has been instantiated. The function should then be exposed on the `Terminal` object:
- socket.on('data', function(data) {
- term.write(data);
- });
+```html
+<script src="node_modules/src/xterm.js"></script>
+<script src="node_modules/addons/fit/fit.js"></script>
+```
- socket.on('disconnect', function() {
- term.destroy();
- });
- });
-}, false);
+```js
+var xterm = new Terminal();
+// init code...
+xterm.fit();
```

+## Development and Contribution
+
+To contribute either code, documentation or issues to xterm.js please read the [Contributing document](CONTRIBUTING.md) before.
+
+The development of xterm.js does not require any special tool. All you need is an editor that supports JavaScript and a browser (if you would like to run the demo you will need Node.js to get all features).
+
+It is recommended though to use a development tool that uses xterm.js internally, to develop for xterm.js. [Eating our own dogfood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food) has been proved extremely beneficial for this project. Known tools that use xterm.js internally are:
+
+#### [SourceLair](https://www.sourcelair.com)
-While term.js has always supported copy/paste using the mouse, it now also
-supports several keyboard based solutions for copy/paste.
+Visit https://lair.io/sourcelair/xterm and follow the instructions. All development will happen in your browser.
-term.js includes a tmux-like selection mode (enabled with the `screenKeys`
-option) which makes copy and paste very simple. `Ctrl-A` enters `prefix` mode,
-from here you can type `Ctrl-V` to paste. Press `[` in prefix mode to enter
-selection mode. To select text press `v` (or `space`) to enter visual mode, use
-`hjkl` to navigate and create a selection, and press `Ctrl-C` to copy.
+#### [Visual Studio Code](http://code.visualstudio.com/)
-`Ctrl-C` (in visual mode) and `Ctrl-V` (in prefix mode) should work in any OS
-for copy and paste. `y` (in visual mode) will work for copying only on X11
-systems. It will copy to the primary selection.
+[Download Visual Studio Code](http://code.visualstudio.com/Download), clone xterm.js and you are all set.
-Note: `Ctrl-C` will also work in prefix mode for the regular OS/browser
-selection. If you want to select text with your mouse and copy it to the
-clipboard, simply select the text and type `Ctrl-A + Ctrl-C`, and
-`Ctrl-A + Ctrl-V` to paste it.
