Termite minimal

This is a stripped down version of the original Termite, which fits my personal usage.

It adds:

• disabling of client side decorations
• all digits keys are used for the modify_other_keys config

It removes:

• all features requiring overlays (selection mode, URL hints, scrollbar,...)
• X11 specific code
• feature to launch terminal in directory

It results in a simpler program:

• much shorter code
• no unneeded keybinding
• straightforward packaging

Termite

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.

BUILDING

git clone https://github.com/thestinger/termite.git
cd termite && make

KEYBINDINGS

ctrl-shift-r	reload configuration file
ctrl-shift-c	copy to CLIPBOARD
ctrl-shift-v	paste from CLIPBOARD
ctrl-shift-u	unicode input (standard GTK binding)
ctrl-shift-e	emoji (standard GTK binding)
ctrl-shift-up	scroll up a line
ctrl-shift-down	scroll down a line
shift-pageup	scroll up a page
shift-pagedown	scroll down a page
ctrl-shift-l	reset and clear
ctrl-+	increase font size
ctrl--	decrease font size
ctrl-=	reset font size to default

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:

.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
