NAME

       tilde - an intuitive text editor for the console/terminal

SYNOPSIS

       tilde [OPTIONS] [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       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.

       -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.

       -T terminal, --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.

       -C config, --config=config
              Use configuration file config instead of the default configuration file,  which  is
              typically ~/.config/tilde/config.

       -e encoding, --encoding=encoding
              Open any files named on the command line using character encoding encoding, instead
              of the default UTF-8 encoding.

       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.
