I'm looking for a "window manager" for character based terminals.
The basic requirements are:
- Ability to maintain at least two "screens" and to toggle
between them.
- Ability to split each screen in at least two parts, each
part "connected" to a process.
- The processes writing to the screen, should NOT be aware of
the fact that they are actually talking to this "window
manager".
- Output from an idle process, i.e. a process that don't have
access to the keyboard input, should be display without delay.
On top of these basic requirements, it would be nice have any, or all,
of these:
- Ability to handle "any" number of "windows", each connected
to a process.
- Each "window" should be adjustable in size.
- A stack of "windows" and functions for poping/pushing.
Anyone out there who knows of such a beast? It might be a commercial
product or PD, it doesn't matter.
Regards
mla
P.S.
If this "window manager" exists AND is combined with a menu handler,
I'd be more than happy!
