Console/Terminal Widget for Qt?

Question

Anyone know of any widget in Qt4 that acts as a terminal/console? Open-source would be good.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Found some decent source code here. Very basic functionality, but I've been adding to it some and I think it has promise to do what I need it to.

NOTE: I have only tested this code in Win32.

Here is a link to my new question concerning this code.

I'd really like a read-only console, but one that supports the \r command so CLI progress bars would work. I was going to roll my own, but then I found this. Would this work? – Tyne

Yes. See code.google.com/p/qterminalwidget/source/browse/trunk/… – Crackup

Answer 2

QConsole used to do something like that. (Not sure the project is active anymore, but you might want to have a look).

This looks more like a python command prompt, not really a bash or MS-DOS terminal. Thanks though. – Vi

Hmm okay. Indeed we looked at it some years ago for the QPyConsole it contains. I assumed the base QConsole could be of use. – Kopje

Sadly QConsole is abstract in their implementation. – Vi

Answer 3

If you are on Qt6, you can use the QLightTerminal.

Answer 4

If you're on Qt5 now, there's the QTermWidget widget from the LXQt project.
