Browser support list

Open mikelui opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

There should be some list of supported (or good enough) browsers and issues for other browsers.

All the examples show chrome, which does play quite nicely. However on firefox there's noticeable issues such as

  • the cursor disappearing (in vim)
  • random scrolling to the bottom of the screen
  • the terminal thinking it's taller than it's being rendered (i can move my cursor "up" past the top of the browser without it scrolling)
  • and generally worse performance/responsiveness.

I haven't tested other browsers like safari, IE, or chromium-based (Opera, Vivaldi), but I imagine they'd be a mixed bag as well. I've also noticed additional firefox issues in FreeBSD but that may be my font set up. Still digging there.

The support list is as follow:

  • Chrome

There is code to handle other browsers (noticeably firefox) but there are some annoying and long time unresolved bugs that I can't really workaround. (Copy/Paste I'm looking at you https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=846674)

For things like cursor disappearing it should be fixable, I'll be happy to merge a good PR :)

@paradoxxxzero Any updates if you could make it work? the bug referenced in FF is resolved.
