README.md

Welcome to ToaruOS!

ToaruOS provides a familiar Unix-like environment, but please be aware that the shell is incomplete and does not implement all Unix shell features. For help with the shell's syntax and built-in functions, run help. For a list of available commands, press Tab twice. Tab completion is available for both commands and file names.

To edit files, try using bim - a vi-like editor with syntax highlighting, line and character selection, history stack, tabs, and more.

To install packages, use the msk tool. You can install a GCC/binutils toolchain with:

sudo msk install build-essential

Or you can install Python with:

sudo msk install python

The password for the default user (local) is local.

ToaruOS's compositing window server includes many common keybindings:

Hold Alt to drag windows.
Super (Win) combined with the arrow keys will "grid" windows to the sides or top and bottom of the screen. Combine with Ctrl and Shift for quarter-sized gridding.
Alt-F10 maximized and unmaximizes windows.
Alt-F4 closes windows.

(If this file is too long to view in one screenful in your terminal, you can open it with bim README)
