Desktop-TUI – desktop environment without graphics

Desktop-TUI is a terminal user interface that provides a desktop environment without graphics.

It works in a tmux-like way, letting users launch and display terminal applications or commands in movable and resizable windows, with shortcut files used to define applications, commands, window options, and terminal settings.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

• Parse shortcut files containing applications and commands.
• Display applications or commands that use standard output.
• Move and resize terminal windows.
• Configure custom window and terminal options.
• Select files or folders and use their paths as command arguments.
