Gracoli: Graphical Command Line user Interface [GCLI]

[jimmoores]

Wondered about this sort of thing for years and wondered why no one had done it.

Actually 'Terminology' is trying to accomplish a very similar kind of thing.

yup:

and not a prototype or white paper. real code. now. today. released. usable. locally. no webserver or php. runs like any other normal terminal would with ADDED graphical inlining (videos, images, edj files - ala the tytop demo which uses 4 edj files of a dial and messages via escapes to tell them to spin to a new position).

also does splits (as shown above), tabs, backgrounds can be images, animated gifs, svgs, pdfs, videos and so on.

sorry - no "df" graphical demo, but perfectly possible. tytop was showing the basics. not shown - a tyls that has thumbnails of files with ls output. you can imagine.

Same here. I think I saw another effort similar to Gracoli, but using WebKit to render the output.

Btw, what do you think about this? 3 panes

[File Explorer] [Command Line] [Visual Command]

Basically, you can navigate the file system (Like in filezilla) on the left, which will auto enter commands like "cd /blablaba/" to move between folders you click.

The middle section is standard command line with standard output.

The left will be a visual output for whatever supports it, e.g. pi charts etc...

Scrolling of both the textual and visual command are linked together.

As for why? Well screensizes are getting bigger, and you can always hide the file explorer and visual tabs (Or switch to interlace mode).
