Feature Requests / Improvements

  • Dragable bar at the bottom to change Tilda's height
  • Ability to disable keyboard accelerators (close tab, new tab, etc)
  • Session support, so Tilda will load with the same number of tabs that it had upon closing.
  • Ability to rename a tab manually
  • Add -c option to specify specific configuration file for Tilda instance

Future Plans

  • DBus-ize Tilda This will make Tilda more of a long-running daemon than a terminal. What I envision is one Tilda process per user, with one config file, managing all of the Tilda windows (individual terminals) that the user wants. Also, expose all of the terminal's properties over DBus, so a completely seperate config program can be written. Also, things like "open a new tab in terminal 3, and launch XYZ in it" should be possible, and easy.

    Unfortunately, to support this, I am thinking about moving away from libConfuse, and moving to the built-in GLib key-value parser (INI-like). This should allow a config file like:

    [global] setting1 = value1 setting2 = value2

    [terminal1] setting1 = value3

    Which means (to me) that all terminals should have the settings from the global section, but terminal1 will have setting1 overridden to a different value. This could be used to give different backgrounds or different fonts in each terminal, for example, but keep all other properties the same.

    Of course, the DBus stuff should probably be optional, so that you don't have to have it installed, nor running. You should be able to start a Tilda which is configured with DBus, but not have DBus running. It would be nice if Tilda didn't die when DBus dies out from under us.

Possible Translation Problems

Change "Animation Delay" to "Animation Duration" "Notebook" should be changed to "Window", probably "tab_pos" error msg (in a switch stmt) should be changed.
