A keyboard-centric VTE-based terminal, aimed at use within a window manager
with tiling and/or tabbing support.

Termite looks for the configuration file in the following order:
``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/termite/config``, ``~/.config/termite/config``,
``$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/termite/config``, ``/etc/xdg/termite/config``.

Termite's exit status is 1 on a failure, including a termination of the child
process from an uncaught signal. Otherwise the exit status is that of the child
process.

DEPENDENCIES
============

The `vte-ng <https://github.com/thestinger/vte-ng>`_ project is required until
VTE exposes the necessary functions for keyboard text selection and URL hints
(if ever). A simple patch `has been submitted upstream
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679658#c10>`_ but they're unwilling
to expose functionality that's not required by GNOME Terminal even if there's
no extra maintenance (it already exists internally) and no additional backwards
compatibility hazards.

.. [1] The directory can be set by a process running in the terminal. For
       example, with zsh:

       .. code:: sh

            if [[ $TERM == xterm-termite ]]; then
              . /etc/profile.d/vte.sh
              __vte_osc7
            fi
       ::

       For example, with bash:

       .. code:: sh

            if [[ $TERM == xterm-termite ]]; then
              . /etc/profile.d/vte.sh

+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+

During scrollback search, the current selection is changed to the search match
and copied to the PRIMARY clipboard buffer.

With the text input widget focused, up/down (or tab/shift-tab) cycle through
completions, escape closes the widget and enter accepts the input.

In hints mode, the input will be accepted as soon as termite considers it a
unique match.

PADDING
=======

Internal padding can be added by using CSS to style the VTE widget. Adding the
follow snippet to ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0/gtk.css`` (or
``~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css``) will add uniform 2px padding around the edges:

.. code:: css

    VteTerminal {
        padding: 2px;
    }

This can also be used to add varying amounts of padding to each side via
standard usage of the CSS padding property.
