Linux support is broken

See original GitHub issue

Kitty works perfectly well under linux, so it makes sense for this project to also support linux. If I open a ~8 page pdf, my terminal goes blank, the termpdf process uses about 6GB of ram and 100% of a CPU core, while just showing a blank screen. Opening a big pdf file almost halted my computer, I think because it used close to 9GB of ram.

Not really a helpful issue description, but I will try to investigate why this happens when I have a little more time. Given that you probably are on macOS, you might want to install a VM to do some simple testing one day. I’m using kitty from git btw, on a fully updated Arch linux system, with the newest PyMuPDF.

Great initiative btw! Folllowing emacs pdf-tools in terms of features is a nice idea.

I don’t think so really, just switched to bash whenever I wanted to use this. However, I can’t test this now, because for some reason libmupdf (need for the python bindings) seems broken on Arch Linux.

The problem seems to be that fish shell screws around with TIOCGWINSZ. If run termpdf.py in a fresh bash instance it works fine.
