NAME

       tilda - a highly configurable terminal emulator

DESCRIPTION

       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.
