BetterTerminal

BetterTerminal

BetterTerminal 1.1.3 expands GTFO's computer terminals with faster search,

command pipelines, item tracking, configurable visuals, localization, guided

help, and extended command history.

Development disclosure: this project was created with assistance from OpenAI Codex. Design decisions, testing, packaging, and publication remain the author's responsibility.

BetterTerminal is designed as a convenience layer over GTFO's native terminal,

not as a replacement for its command system.

What's new in 1.1.3

• Consumables register after GTFO factory/culling initialization instead of

waiting for a consumable list command.

• CONFIG CONSUMABLESINLIST ON|OFF controls broad native LIST inclusion.
• Consumable pings expire after five seconds without removing MARK markers.

• Guided help, command topics, status diagnostics, and documentation links.
• Command and configuration autocomplete.
• Configuration profiles, section views, validation, reset, and text glow intensity.
• Better token-by-token fuzzy matching, spacing recovery, pipelines, and visible history.
• Interactive web documentation and terminal trainer.
• Visual, localization, consumable, map-marker, and runtime-safety improvements.

See CHANGELOG.md for detailed verification notes and limitations.

Main features

• Fuzzy completion for commands and terminal item identifiers.
• Common-prefix completion or interactive arrow selection for ambiguous matches.
• Configurable Levenshtein distance.
• Searchable extended command history inspired by interactive shells.
• Session-only history by default. Optional disk persistence with

CONFIG HISTORYMODE DISK; clear it with HISTORY CLEAR.

• LIST and QUERY support for ID ranges and result limits.
• Typed pipelines with filtering, sorting, limiting, querying, pinging, marking, and text processing.
• Terminal registration, QUERY, PING, and map markers for uncollected consumables.
• Runtime settings through CONFIG; most changes apply without restarting GTFO.
• JSON localization with runtime language switching and custom language files.
• Configurable neofetch-style terminal status.
• Optional sleeping-terminal image and interactive background customization.
• Optional STFO scripting support through the separate STFO package.

QUERY MEDIPACK 2

LIST GLOW_STICK | WHERE ZONE 49 | TAKE 1 | PING

LIST TOOL_REFILL | SORT ID | TAKE 3 | QUERY

COMMANDS | WHERE TEXT PING

Item filters and queries

LIST keeps GTFO's native substring-filter behavior. For predictable results,

prefer a complete item type instead of a single letter:

LIST GLOW_STICK

LIST MEDIPACK

LIST CONSUMABLES

LIST NATIVE | WHERE ZONE 49

LIST CONSUMABLES shows only supported consumables registered by

BetterTerminal. LIST NATIVE is available as a pipeline source and excludes

those added consumables.

Direct and piped queries both accept native terminal objects and supported

consumables:

QUERY GLOW_STICK_001

LIST GLOW_STICK | WHERE ZONE 49 | TAKE 1 | QUERY

LIST MEDIPACK | TAKE 1 | QUERY

PING GLOW_STICK_001

LIST GLOW_STICK | WHERE ZONE 49 | TAKE 1 | PING

Consumable queries show type, current zone and area, placement state, use, and

ping availability. Registration occurs while level objects initialize, so

results can briefly change during level loading or host migration.

Consumable locator pings clear after five seconds. Pipeline PING accepts one

result only; use TAKE 1 when necessary. MARK remains persistent until

UNMARK.
