MyTerm 0.1.2

AgentSpace

An Avalonia 24-bit truecolor terminal control, an X11 PRIMARY-selection clipboard, and two desktop tools built on both.

A Linux/Windows monorepo with three NuGet libraries and two dotnet tool apps. All five ship from the same v* tag.

What's in here

Quick start (library)

<Window xmlns:xterm="clr-namespace:AgentSpace.Avalonia.XTerm;assembly=AgentSpace.Avalonia.XTerm">
  <xterm:XTermControl Shell="bash" FontSize="14"
                      Background="#FF1E1E1E" Foreground="#FFCCCCCC" />
</Window>

Terminal.TitleChanged += (_, e) => Title = e.Title;
Terminal.BellEvent    += (_, _) => SystemSounds.Beep.Play();

Properties: Shell, WorkingDirectory, FontFamily, FontSize, Background, Foreground, CursorBlink, MaxScrollback, ColorScheme, BackgroundOpacity.

Events: TitleChanged, BellEvent, OutputReceived, SessionEnded.

Color schemes: ColorScheme.Default, Solarized, Dracula (swap at runtime).

Quick start (PRIMARY clipboard)

using AgentSpace.Avalonia.PrimarySelection;

// Middle-click paste handler
var text = await PrimarySelection.GetTextAsync();

// Selection-complete handler
PrimarySelection.SetText(highlightedText);

Safe no-op on Windows, macOS, and headless Linux. IsSupported tells you up front whether PRIMARY is available. The package ships a Windows / macOS stub plus a Linux X11 implementation under runtimes/linux/ — Windows and macOS binaries don't carry any libX11 metadata.

Shared MSBuild config (authors, package metadata, SourceLink) lives in /Directory.Build.props.

Driving the apps from a shell (Debug builds only)

Avalonia.AgentDebug opens a Unix domain socket / named pipe per app and speaks HTTP/1.0. Built into Debug builds, completely absent from Release.

# Inspect the visual tree
curl --unix-socket /tmp/CoreFxPipe_MyTerm-debug http://_/tree

# Click a named control
curl --unix-socket /tmp/CoreFxPipe_AgentSpace-debug "http://_/click?path=NewSpaceButton"

# Save a screenshot
curl --unix-socket /tmp/CoreFxPipe_MyTerm-debug -o shot.png http://_/screenshot

# Send a key
curl --unix-socket /tmp/CoreFxPipe_AgentSpace-debug "http://_/key?path=PathBox&key=Enter"

(The screenshots at the top of this README were captured this way.)

Building / packing

dotnet build AgentSpace.slnx       # everything
dotnet test  AgentSpace.slnx       # 526 tests
scripts/pack.sh                    # all .nupkgs → artifacts/nuget/

Requirements

• .NET 10 SDK
• Avalonia 12.0+
• Linux, Windows, macOS for the libraries; PTY apps need Linux/macOS PTY or Windows ConPTY (handled by Porta.Pty).
