# MetaTerm

…is a _prompt like_ user interface enabling running multiple terminal applications at the same time while preserving the sequence of execution. This functionality is controllable in a _vim like_ way in respect of both keybindings and a mode based paradigm.

_MetaTerm_ is implemented in _QML_ and uses [QMLTermWidget](https://github.com/Swordfish90/qmltermwidget) as its embedded terminal emulator.

## Requirements

* Qt 5
* QMLTermWidget version including support for program arguments
	* Use [my fork](https://github.com/KnairdA/qmltermwidget) as long as the [pull request](https://github.com/Swordfish90/qmltermwidget/pull/4) is not merged
