Build quilte

Select "Projects -> Build". Add to environment variables:

LIBVTERM_DIR=/home/user/libroot

current state

• functional and useful
• qvtermwidget code is a mess though
• supports (very basic) embedded Hebrew RTL
• supports input method entry

planned improvements

• hide/show toolbars
• right-click displays menu bar
• enable hiding of menu bar and tab titles
• why doesn't vim change the title? it does in pangoterm
• why doesn't ctrl-L clear the terminal
• better RTL support
• background transparency in composited environments
• profiles
