- Here is the software you'll need installed besides tilda:
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/vte/
http://www.nongnu.org/confuse/
glib >= 2.8
2) unzip and untar the source, change directorys to the tilda dir and run:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
3) Run tilda -C to bring up the configuration wizard, even if you had tilda installed before, ~/.tilda/config changes all the time.
4) The command 'tilda' runs tilda later
5) Default key F[$instance+1] so if this is first tilda you run, instance=0, press F1 to bring tilda up and down. Example key bindings:
None+grave -- ~
None+F1 -- can be any key instead of F1 as well
Control+x -- can be any key instead of x as well
Alt+x -- can be any key instead of x as well
Be sure that xbindkeys is not running! If it grabs the same key as you want Tilda to use.
6) tilda -h to see the rest of the command line options. If you want a transparent bg and you want a white font do the follow "tilda -t -b black" this will set the forground color to white and the terminal transparent.
7) lock files are stored in ~/.tilda/locks now so keep an eye on that dir if Tilda dies in an odd way, seg fault or xkill.
8) Shortcuts for tabs are: Ctrl-Shift-T (New Tab), Ctrl-Shift-PageUp (Next Tab), Ctrl-Shift-PageDown (Prev Tab)
