Tilde is a text editor for the console/terminal, which tries to be as intuitive as possible for users who
       are accustomed to GUI environments such as Gnome, KDE and Windows. For example, the short-cut to copy the
       current  selection  is  Control-C, and to paste the previously copied text the short-cut Control-V can be
       used. As another example, the File menu can be accessed by pressing Meta-F.

Tilde accepts the following options:

       -b, --black-white
              Force Tilde to use black & white mode. Only attributes such as reverse video, underline  and  bold
              text  will  be  used  to  create  the  interface.  This  option  overrides  the  setting  from the
              configuration file.

       -c, --color
              Request Tilde to use color mode. This option overrides the setting from the configuration file. If
              the terminal does not support color, or does not provide sufficient colors, this  option  will  be
              ignored.

       -Cconfig, --config=config
              Use  configuration  file  config  instead  of  the  default configuration file, which is typically
              ~/.config/tilde/config.-eencoding, --encoding=encoding
              Open any files named on the command line using character encoding encoding, instead of the default
              UTF-8 encoding.

       -h, --help
              Display a short help message.

       -I, --select-input-method
              Ask the user to select the input handling method immediately after start-up, as if  the  user  had
              not previously selected one for the current terminal type.

       -J, --no-parse-file-position
              Do  not  attempt parse the line and column from the file names passed on the command line. Without
              this option, if the file name ends in a colon followed by a number, or two such numbers, they will
              be interpreted as the position in the file to jump to. With this option, those colons and  numbers
              will be interpreted as part of the file name.

       -P, --no-primary-selection
              Disable the use of the primary selection mechanism (a.k.a. "middle-button paste") for the external
              clipboard. This can be useful for using Tilde over SSH connections in combination with a Clipboard
              Manager which can result in slow-downs when selecting text.

       -Tterminal, --terminal=terminal
              Set the terminal type to terminal, overriding the TERM environment variable.

       -V, --version
              Print version and copyright information.

       -x, --no-ext-clipboard
              Tells Tilde not to attempt to connect to the X11 clipboard.

       To  stop  Tilde  from interpreting file names that start with a dash as options, one can specify a double
       dash (--) after which Tilde will interpret any following arguments as files to read.
