tilix: Tiling GTK3 terminal emulator for GNOME

NAME

tilix - Tiling GTK3 terminal emulator for GNOME

SYNOPSIS

tilix [options]

DESCRIPTION

tilix is an advanced GTK3 tiling terminal emulator designed to adhere to Gnome Human Interface Guidelines.

OPTIONS

The tilix application accepts the following command line parameters:

-h --help

Show help options.

-v --version

Show the version of Tilix as well as the versions of dependent components.

-w --working-directory=DIRECTORY

Set the working directory of the terminal.

-p --profile=PROFILE_NAME

Set the starting profile using the name of one of the existing profiles. If a name is passed that does not correspond to an existing profile, the default profile will be used.

-t --title=TITLE

Set the title of the new terminal.

-s --session=SESSION_NAME

Open the specified session file which has been previously saved. Session files are saved from within Tilix, they store the complete layout of the session enabling the user to re-load it when required. Note that only the layout and layout options are saved, this will not restore the terminal to where it was left off, rather new terminals are created.

-a --action=ACTION_NAME

Perform an action in the current Tilix instance, the following actions are supported:

session-add-right Adds a new terminal to the right of the current terminal.

session-add-down Adds a new terminal down from the current terminal.

app-new-session Creates a new Tilix session within the current window.

app-new-window Creates a new Tilix window.

-e --command=COMMAND

Execute all text after this parameter as a command, thus this parameter must be the last parameter.

--maximize

Maximize the terminal window.

--minimize

Minimize the terminal window.

--full-screen

Full-screen the terminal window.

--focus-window

Focus the existing window.

--new-process

Start an additional Tilix instance as a new process. By default and as per GTK+ 3 guidelines, Tilix maintains a single process that all windows belong to. This option forces Tilix to start as a separate process. This is not recommended and is intended for debugging purposes only, using this option will prevent different Tilix windows from communicating with each other.

--geometry=GEOMETRY

Set the window size; for example: 80x24, or 80x24+200+200 (COLSxROWS+X+Y).

-q --quake

Open a window in quake mode or toggle existing quake mode window visibility.

--preferences

Show the Tilix preferences dialog directly.
