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.
|
|
|
|
If no browser is configured and $BROWSER is unset, xdg-open from xdg-utils is
|
|
used as a fallback.

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 Termite. Adding
|
|
the following 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
|
|
|
|
.termite {
|
|
padding: 2px;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
This can also be used to add varying amounts of padding to each side via
|
|
standard usage of the CSS padding property.
|
|
|
|
TERMINFO
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
When working on a remote system with termite's terminfo missing, an error might
|
|
occur:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
Error opening terminal: xterm-termite
|
|
|
|
To solve this issue, install the termite terminfo on your remote system.
|
|
|
|
On Arch Linux:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
pacman -S termite-terminfo
|
|
|
|
On other systems:
|
|
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thestinger/termite/master/termite.terminfo
|
|
tic -x termite.terminfo
