I am looking for a terminal-like widget. Something that offers a prompt for user input and displays messages/output. I have looked at libvte(mm), but as far as I am aware libvte expects a second process which probably also has to supply the prompt etc. using for example readline. In my case I have a library that has, as fas as the terminal part is concerned, two signals: one get_input at which point my program is expected to show a prompt and get input from the user which is then send back to the library and two write_message at which point my program is expected to write the message to the console (btw this can also happen during input).

I have looked at 'modifying' a textview and have got something that behaves somewhat like a terminal. However, getting everything exactly right is going to be quite a bit of work and I'd rather focus on other aspects of my program. Does any one know of an existing widget I could use? Thanks.

Jan
