- HiDPI-friendly Cocoa backend: logical vs device scaling, fractional scale slider, and raw-pixel mode (scale 0).
- Preferences dialog to set UI scale; scale also configurable via
DRAWTERM_SCALEand persisted in user defaults. - Mouse and resize paths honor logical scaling; raw mode keeps pixel-accurate frame buffer.
- Metal redraw path limits full-surface invalidation to scale/resize events; incremental flushes use region updates.
- macOS pasteboard bridge for text snarf/clipboard; getenv fixed to use host environment safely.
- Cocoa "Connect…" dialog to set CPU/auth hosts and ports, user, and optional saved password; defaults persist between runs.
- macOS shortcuts: Command now emits mod4 for rio/riow bindings; menu accelerators for Full Screen/Hide are Command+Shift+F/H; Command+Q shows a confirmation alert.
- an icon that doesn't want to be unseen.
This fork keeps drawterm working smoothly on modern macOS systems while retaining support for other platforms. My original motivation was to use drawterm on my Retina MacBook Pro, but I have also preserved the existing backends for Unix, Solaris, Windows, and X11 macOS, and started gathering other patches that were sent to me on the 9fans mailing list.
- Unix:
CONF=unix make - Solaris (Sun cc):
CONF=sun make - Windows: use Mingw on Cygwin (Visual C is unsupported)
- macOS X11 (XQuartz):
CONF=osx-x11 make - macOS Cocoa:
CONF=osx-cocoa makeand thencp drawterm gui-cocoa/drawterm.app/ - Android: adjust Make.android* and gui-android/Makefile for your toolchain, then
make -f Make.android
- Android: the five checkboxes map to the three mouse buttons and mouse wheel;
kbtoggles the soft keyboard. - macOS Cocoa: use Drawterm → Connect… (Cmd+O) to enter CPU/auth endpoints and user; enable "Save password" to reuse it on next launch. Full Screen and Hide use Cmd+Shift+F/H; quitting via Cmd+Q prompts for confirmation; Command acts as mod4 inside
rio.
- Android: saved login details are stored as plaintext; secstore is not supported.
- macOS: saved passwords live in user defaults (plaintext); disable "Save password" if that is unacceptable.
- No.
