Termit - area of the terminal



UPD:. The comments correctly noted that the post has lost relevance. use. information from the project site.

word of the developer. Termit'a. :.


Some time ago I needed a tiny terminal emulator with tabs and switching character. At that time it was 'Gnome terminal', and Konsole, which are famous for rich functionality and xterm with clones, sakura and Terminal ( from Xfce), who have no tabs, no switching encodings.
I do not use Gnome, KDE and Xfce, because 'Gnome terminal', Konsole and Terminal does not fit me. For some time I used sakura with its own patch, which adds support for the change of character, but then I decided to make their project.
There are only a few functions from the library vte, used in termit, but they cover my personal needs today. So it is unlikely that the number of functions will continue to grow.




installation.
We leave for a tarball'om. link. After unpacking, moving into a fresh directory. Pre- prepare the ground for testing. To do this we need a pack libvte (Terminal emulator widget for. GTK 2. 0. ):.

sudo aptitude install libvte-dev libvte-common liblua5. 1-0 -dev. 


Then compile:.

cmake. 
make.
sudo make install.


Settings are stored in $ HOME /. config / termit / termit. cfg.
The default configuration file is missing. I had to make, because keyboard shortcuts are not responded. The content of the file:.


[termit].
default_encoding = UTF- 8.
default_tab_name = Terminal.
default_font = Sans 12.
scrollback_lines = 4096.
word_chars = '-A-Za-z0- 9. /?%.


encodings = UTF- 8; KOI8-R; CP866; CP1251.



[bookmarks].
home = $ HOME.
src = $ HOME / src.
