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.
