germinal is a simple, minimal and elegant terminal for Linux.
Features:
- It remembers window position and size. So when you launch germinal it'll position itself where you left it last.
- It's single instance. There's only ever one running instance of germinal. And your desktop or window manager will always take you to it.
- It's designed to be used with a terminal multiplexer such as tmux or screen. As such germinal doesn't have tabs.
- It has an ultra minimal user interface. It has no menus, tabs, statusbars, toolbars, scrollbars, or assorted fluff.
- It has almost no configuration. Only fonts and custom shells can be configured. There will be support for themes later.
- It's fast.
Keyboard Shortcut:
ctrl+shift+c copy selected text.
ctrl+shift+v paste copied selection.
ctrl+q quits germinal.
F11 switches germinal to fullscreen mode.
F12 shows the configuration window.
Right mouse button shows the context menu.
Software Requirements:
- python 2.6
- python bindings for dbus
- python bindings for vte
- python bindings for gtk
Reason:
I found myself reconfiguring, resizing, or repositioning GNOME Terminal everytime I installed or launched it. I got tired of doing all that. So I wrote germinal. I also have a sinful obsession for simple and minimal apps. I'm sure I'm not the only one cursed, or blessed, with this fetish.
