Description
vtm is a text-based application that represents its user interface as a mosaic of text cells, forming a TUI matrix. This matrix can be rendered in its own GUI window or in a compatible text console. It wraps any console application and supports indefinite nesting, creating a text-based desktop environment within your terminal.

Upgrades to vtm 2025.05.28 ========================== vtm 2025.05.28 contains changes that are made to configuration settings which are backward-incompatible for previous versions of vtm. The configuration settings file has changed significantly due to the introduction of Pure XML with dynamic element referencing and templating.
