💅 TERMINUS(1) — User Commands energy

okay bestie, so terminus is literally a drop-down or in-window terminal for X11 and Wayland. yes. both. she does it all. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

terminus — drop-down or in-window terminal for X11 and Wayland 🖥️✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

the whole vibe, fr fr:

Usage: terminus [OPTION...] [-- COMMAND ...]

🎀 Help commands

because sometimes you just need a lil reassurance, and that's valid:

  • -h, --help — shows this help. your bestie, always there for you 🫶
  • -v, --version — shows the version. main character reveal ✨

👑 OPTIONS

every single one, no skips, no cap:

  • -x, --execute, -- — launches a brand new Terminus window and executes the rest of the command line inside the terminal. it's giving "run this for me and don't ask questions" 💅
  • -e, --command=STRING — launches a new Terminus window and runs the argument inside the terminal. one single STRING, that's the whole assignment 🎀
  • --working-directory=DIRNAME — sets the terminal directory to DIRNAME. so she knows where she's standing when she arrives 🌈
  • --no-window — launches Terminus but doesn't open a window. ghost mode. present but unseen 👻✨
  • --nobindkey — doesn't try to bind the Quake-mode key. super useful for gnome shell, iykyk 😌
lowkey important: --no-window means no window, like actually none. don't sit there waiting for one, bestie, she's not coming 💀

and that's the whole page, you ate that 💖
