# fingerterm
fingerterm is a terminal emulator designed for touch-based interaction,
specifically for (but not limited to) use on the Nokia N9 and Jolla's
Jolla device.
## Modifications
I have made some modifications to the source code to allow it to work better on the reMarkable.
These include:
* Disabling the visual bell in code
* Keeping the virtual keyboard on screen at all times (except when the menu is open)
* Reducing the text area to fit above the keyboard rather than overlapping, to reduce redraw
* Adjusting the font and UI sizes to fit more comfortably on the screen.
Note that Landscape mode doesn't seem to work - this was true when I downloaded the repo originally from https://github.com/reMarkable/fingerterm .
## Build instructions
To build and install fingerterm (as well as other projects like [draft](https://github.com/dixonary/draft-reMarkable), you'll first need to setup QT Creator. This is covered on the [reMarkable wiki](https://web.archive.org/web/20230129161833/https://remarkablewiki.com/devel/qt_creator). After that, it's as simple as opening the project in QT Creator and running it with your reMarkable connected to your computer.
