Kuznix Terminal

A Qt 6 + C++20 + Meson developer terminal focused on Linux development workflows.

Features

• Multi-tab interactive shell sessions.
• Configurable shell and persistent project directory.
• Developer build settings window.
• Build-system profiles: Meson/Ninja, CMake/Ninja, CMake/Make, Make, Ninja, Cargo and custom.
• Configurable Make/CMake parallelism.
• Separate Ninja and Cargo job limits.
• Fixed -jX or automatic $(nproc) parallelism.
• C/C++ build flags and CMake/Meson/Cargo arguments.
• Extra build environment variables.
• Optional compiler-cache setting for ccache/sccache workflows.
• Verbose build mode.
• Configure, Build, Install and toolchain-info actions.
• Persistent settings through Qt QSettings.
• Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+Shift+T, Ctrl+Shift+W, Ctrl+Shift+B and F6.

Build

Dependencies: Qt 6 Core/Gui/Widgets, Meson, Ninja, a C++20 compiler and pkg-config.

meson setup build
meson compile -C build
meson install -C build

Run:

./build/kuznix-terminal

Build tuning examples

The application can drive common Linux developer workflows such as:

make -j$(nproc)
ninja -j16
cmake --build build --parallel 16
cargo build -j8 --release
meson setup build --buildtype=release

Build settings are saved automatically and can be changed without editing shell configuration files.

Notes

The terminal currently uses Qt's QProcess shell backend. It is intentionally lightweight; a future version can replace it with a PTY backend for full terminal emulation, including robust ANSI/VT input, resize signaling, alternate screen buffers and applications such as vim, tmux and htop.
