base on Cross Platform Terminal UI toolkit for .NET [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Terminal.Gui) [](https://codecov.io/gh/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui) [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Terminal.Gui) [](LICENSE)  # Terminal.Gui v2 Cross-platform UI toolkit for building sophisticated terminal UI (TUI) applications on Windows, macOS, and Linux/Unix.  * **v2 Alpha** (Current):  - Recommended for new projects * **v1 (Legacy)**: [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Terminal.Gui) - Maintenance mode only > **Important:** > - **v1** is in maintenance mode - only critical bug fixes accepted > - **v2 Alpha** is recommended for new projects - API is stable with comprehensive features > - Breaking changes possible before Beta, but core architecture is solid  # Quick Start Install the [Terminal.Gui.Templates](https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui.templates), create a new TUI app, and run it: ```powershell dotnet new --install Terminal.Gui.templates dotnet new tui -n myproj cd myproj dotnet run ``` Press `Esc` to exit (the default [QuitKey](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/api/Terminal.Gui.App.Application.html#Terminal_Gui_App_Application_QuitKey)). Run the comprehensive [UI Catalog](Examples/UICatalog) demo to explore all controls: ```powershell dotnet run --project Examples/UICatalog/UICatalog.csproj ``` # Simple Example ```csharp using Terminal.Gui; using IApplication app = Application.Create (); app.Init (); using Window window = new () { Title = "Hello World (Esc to quit)" }; Label label = new () { Text = "Hello, Terminal.Gui v2!", X = Pos.Center (), Y = Pos.Center () }; window.Add (label); app.Run (window); ``` See the [Examples](Examples/) directory for more. # Build Powerful Terminal Applications Terminal.Gui enables building sophisticated console applications with modern UIs: - **Rich Forms and Dialogs** - Text fields, buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, and data validation - **Interactive Data Views** - Tables, lists, and trees with sorting, filtering, and in-place editing - **Visualizations** - Charts, graphs, progress indicators, and color pickers with TrueColor support - **Text Editors** - Full-featured text editing with clipboard, undo/redo, and Unicode support - **File Management** - File and directory browsers with search and filtering - **Wizards and Multi-Step Processes** - Guided workflows with navigation and validation - **System Monitoring Tools** - Real-time dashboards with scrollable, resizable views - **Configuration UIs** - Settings editors with persistent themes and user preferences - **Cross-Platform CLI Tools** - Consistent experience on Windows, macOS, and Linux - **Server Management Interfaces** - SSH-compatible UIs for remote administration See the [Views Overview](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/docs/views) for available controls and [What's New in v2](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/docs/newinv2) for architectural improvements. # Documentation Comprehensive documentation is at [gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui). ## Getting Started - **[Getting Started Guide](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/docs/getting-started)** - First Terminal.Gui application - **[API Reference](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/api/Terminal.Gui.App.html)** - Complete API documentation - **[What's New in v2](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/docs/newinv2)** - New features and improvements ## Migration & Deep Dives - **[Migrating from v1 to v2](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/docs/migratingfromv1)** - Complete migration guide - **[Application Architecture](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/docs/application)** - Instance-based model and IRunnable pattern - **[Layout System](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/docs/layout)** - Positioning, sizing, and adornments - **[Keyboard Handling](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/docs/keyboard)** - Key bindings and commands - **[View Documentation](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/docs/View)** - View hierarchy and lifecycle - **[Configuration](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/docs/config)** - Themes and persistent settings See the [documentation index](https://gui-cs.github.io/Terminal.Gui/docs/index) for all topics. # Installing ## v2 Alpha (Recommended) ```powershell dotnet add package Terminal.Gui --version "2.0.0-alpha.*" ``` ## v2 Develop (Latest) ```powershell dotnet add package Terminal.Gui --version "2.0.0-develop.*" ``` ## v1 Legacy ```powershell dotnet add package Terminal.Gui --version "1.*" ``` Or use the [Terminal.Gui.Templates](https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui.templates). # Contributing Contributions welcome!
