A web-based shell that has autocompletion and readline behavior. It uses websockets, repl.js, readline.js.

Goal is to have a fully usable shell for 80% of daily tasks, but with an awesome and hackable UI built in HTML/CSS/jQuery - eventually this goal may require a specialized browser, Termkit style, but initially I hope to get most functionality without taking that step.

Install the gem with:

gem install termvana

Your browser must have html5 websockets support.

To start the server

$ termvana

Termvana will be available on port 5432 - change port with -p [port] arguments

Also notice that a subset of readline’s functionality is available. Try C-l, C-r or C-p and they should do what readline normally does. For more keybindings, see readline.js.

Please report them on github. For javascript issues, report them on readline.js or repl.js as appropriate.
