# QTerminal

## Overview

QTerminal is a lightweight Qt terminal emulator based on [QTermWidget](https://github.com/lxqt/qtermwidget).

It is maintained by the LXQt project but can be used independently from this desktop environment. The only bonds are [lxqt-build-tools](https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-build-tools) representing a build dependency.
