# headmore
A fully functional VNC client for your geeky character terminals (Linux VT, xterm, and more).

## Compile and Run
`headmore` requires the following components to compile and run:
- `libcaca` and its development files
- `libvncserver` (or `libvncclient`) and its development files

The two libraries themself depend on:
- `libgcrypt` and its development files
- `libjpeg8` and its development files
- `libopenssl` and its development files
- `libpng16-compat` and its development files

After having installed the dependencies, simply run `make`, then start your favourite VNC server (`vncsever` for example), and `./headmore host_or_ip:port`!

## Distribution Package
I will be very happy to assist you (as a packager) to make headmore available in your favourite Linux/BSD/Solaris distribution. A sample RPM package is available [here](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:guohouzuo/headmore).

## Keyboard controls
`headmore` has two input modes that determine where your keyboard input goes, the mode switch is carried out by backtick (`) key.

In general, the left hand side keys pan and zoom viewer, the right hand side keys clicks mouse and move cursor. The key mapping is comprehensively explained in the program's help menu (type `h`), the manual page (`man 1 headmore`), and the illustration below:
