cool-retro-term is a good looking terminal emulator which mimics the old cathode display.

## Installation

Install the cool-retro-term package or cool-retro-term-gitAUR for the development version.

## Configuration

### Key remapping

There are no gui or config file to change key mapping actions like copy/paste.

The `/app/qml/main.qml` contains key bindings for the terminal. So all you have to do is to bind your keys there and build the package.

The current master builds, but fails on cool-retro-terminal start with `Cannot assign to non-existent property "blinkingCursor"` message, see github issue. So the extra checkout step will be required.

The following code assume that you have PKGBUILD in current directory.

    git clone https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term src/cool-retro-term
    cd src/cool-retro-term && git checkout a736cfd5485ed0f0999da07fee72e3642dd87ff7 && cd ../..

    # edit src/cool-retro-term/app/qml/main.qml

    cd src/cool-retro-term && sed -i '/qmltermwidget/d' cool-retro-term.pro && cd ../..
    cd src/cool-retro-term && qmake && make && cd ../..
    cd src/cool-retro-term && make INSTALL_ROOT="$PWD/../../pkg/cool-retro-term-git/" install && cd ../..
    makepkg -Ri
