RaisinTerminal

Windows terminal emulator with multi-pane layout and Claude Code session management.

Features

• Full terminal emulation — ConPTY-based with VT100/ANSI support, alternate screen buffer, scrollback, and Unicode block drawing
• Multi-pane layout — AvalonDock docking with drag-and-drop tab management
• Claude Code awareness — detects session status (idle/working/waiting), manages session names, and tracks per-project state
• Projects panel — groups terminal sessions by working directory with per-project attachments and icon auto-detection
• Session persistence — saves and restores working directory, last command, and alternate screen state across restarts
• Clipboard integration — paste images and drag-and-drop file paths directly into terminals
• Command history — cross-session history with search (max 500 entries)

Requirements

• Windows 10 version 1809+ (ConPTY support)
• .NET 8 Runtime

Building

dotnet build RaisinTerminal.slnx

The project references sibling Raisin libraries via ProjectReference by default. For standalone builds using NuGet packages:

dotnet build RaisinTerminal.slnx -p:UseProjectReferences=false

Running

dotnet run --project RaisinTerminal/RaisinTerminal.csproj

Testing

dotnet test RaisinTerminal.Tests/RaisinTerminal.Tests.csproj

Architecture

WPF app (.NET 8, C#) using MVVM with three projects:

• RaisinTerminal — WPF UI (Views, ViewModels, Services, Controls)
• RaisinTerminal.Core — Terminal emulation engine (no UI dependency)
• RaisinTerminal.Tests — xUnit tests

Terminal pipeline

Keyboard → InputEncoder → ConPtySession → child process
child process → AnsiParser → TerminalEmulator → TerminalBuffer → TerminalCanvas (WPF render)
