python-scrolltext

A little toy-like app for scrolling text in your favourite terminal.

There is a configuration file "~/.config/scrolltextrc" on UNIX systems and just scrolltextrc in the current directory when you are using it on a WINDOWS machine. If the config file is not yet existing, it can be created by passing the command line option: "-w"|"--write", like so:

scrolltext -w

Plain Terminal version

SCROLL_TEXT="Hello, world." scrolltext [linescroller]

Curses Version

SCROLL_TEXT="Hello, world." scrolltext cursestext

Scroll right-to-left reading text

Using SCROLL_DIRECTION=1 makes the text start scrolling from left-side of the terminal. This is used for right-to-left writing languages.
