What do you mean by snapshots? There’s a “zmx history” command which will print whatever is stored in libghostty as plain text, or with ansi escape codes, or even html

I'm rendering a few dozen terminals in a website, and for all of the inactive ones i render and serve a jpg of the "current screen" of ansi escape codes from kitty.

I've found this to be a difficult thing to get. abduco doesn't have current state, and I dont want all of the complexity of tmux. I also don't want the entire scrollback history (until i click into a given terminal and connect with xterm).

I'll give zmx a closer look. Thank you.

  • If the terminal is in alt-screen the history will only print the current screen. Happy to brainstorm on the zmx repo if you are interested
