Tilda is a terminal emulator which is highly configurable. The main distinguishing feature of tilda is
that it uses a configurable shortcut to show and hide the tilda window. This allows users to quickly
switch between tilda and other windows only through keyboard shortcuts. When tilda is hidden it will move
outside of the screen until a shortcut is pressed again to show the tilda window. The behaviour of tilda
can be configured using the preferences dialog that is available via the context menu. A subset of the
options can also be configured from the command line as documented below.
Please note that currently command line options override the settings in the configuration file and are
persisted into the configuration file.
Tilda is currently not officially supported on Wayland. Starting with Tilda 1.5.0 it will be able to
start under Wayland but the pull hotkey will only work from other X11 windows but not when a native
Wayland window has the focus.
