Struct TerminalView 

pub struct TerminalView { /* private fields */ }

A real terminal: spawns the user’s shell through a PTY (terminal::Terminal) and renders its live output with real per-cell ANSI colors/bold/italic/underline. This is the Phase C counterpart to crate::TerminalPanel’s static chrome — see plans/20260705-1722-zed- ui-component-enrichment/phase-03-real-terminal-pty-and-text-buffer.md for what this intentionally does NOT cover: mouse support, hyperlinks, scrollback UI (only the visible screen is rendered, no history buffer), vi-mode, bracketed paste, and any verification on Linux/Windows (this was built and tested on macOS only).

If the PTY fails to spawn (e.g. a sandboxed/headless host with no controlling TTY), renders an inline error instead of panicking.

Stateful view — create with cx.new(|cx| TerminalView::new(cx)) and store the resulting Entity<TerminalView>.

Implementations

impl TerminalView

pub fn new(cx: &mut Context<'_, Self>) -> Self

pub fn focus(&self, window: &mut Window, cx: &mut App)

Moves keyboard focus onto the terminal so typed keys reach the PTY. Callers should invoke this once after mounting (e.g. on click), matching TabSwitcher::focus/CommandPalette::focus_input’s convention in this crate.

Trait Implementations

impl Focusable for TerminalView

fn focus_handle(&self, _cx: &App) -> FocusHandle

Returns the focus handle associated with this view.

impl Render for TerminalView

fn render( &mut self, _window: &mut Window, cx: &mut Context<'_, Self>, ) -> impl IntoElement

Render this view into an element tree.
