fortty

A terminal emulator written in modern Fortran.

fortty aims to be a fully featured terminal with hardware acceleration, splits, configurable keybinds, and proper handling of terminal edge cases. It follows the architecture and solutions of existing terminals (ghostty, alacritty, wezterm) but implements everything from first principles in Fortran.
