TILIX(1)

💅 TILIX(1) — the Tilix Commands glow-up 💅

okay bestie, so you opened the manual for tilix and it's giving very formal. lemme translate it for you, no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

tilix — a Tiling GTK3 terminal emulator for GNOME. yeah. she's a terminal. she tiles. she's GTK3. she's for GNOME. iconic behavior honestly 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

tilix [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run her, you hand her some options, she does the thing 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

tilix is an advanced GTK3 tiling terminal emulator, and she was designed to adhere to the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines. like, she read the style guide. she took notes. she's a good student 🎓💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

the tilix application accepts the following command line parameters — and yes, we're going through ALL of them, bestie, no skimming:

• -h, --help — show help options. the "hey what can you even do" button 🌈
• -v, --version — show the version of Tilix, plus the versions of all her dependent components. she's not just telling you her age, she's telling you her whole friend group's ages too 😭
• -w, --working-directory=DIRECTORY — set the working directory of the terminal. where she starts her little journey 🧚
• -p, --profile=PROFILE_NAME — set the starting profile using the name of one of the existing profiles. and here's the plot twist: if it matches none of those existing profiles, the default profile will be used. she's not gonna crash on you, she's just gonna shrug and pick default 💀
• -t, --title=TITLE — set the title of the new terminal. name your child. give her a little label. 👑
• -s, --session=SESSION_NAME — specify a previously saved session to re-load the layout and layout options from. important caveat bestie: this will not restore the terminal to where it was left off — rather, new terminals are created. it's the layout, not the time machine 🕰️😭
• -a, --action=ACTION_NAME — perform one of the following actions in the current Tilix instance:
  • session-add-right — add a new terminal rightwards of the current one. she's expanding to the right, main character energy ➡️
  • session-add-down — add a new terminal below the current terminal. downward expansion, lowkey cozy ⬇️
  • app-new-session — create a new Tilix session within the current window.
  • app-new-window — create a new Tilix window. a whole new window, a whole new world 🌍
• -e, --command=COMMAND — execute all text after this parameter as a command. so basically this parameter must be the last parameter. fr fr, put it at the end or she gets confused 🙈
• --maximize — maximize the terminal window. she big now 📈
• --minimize — minimize the terminal window. she small now 📉
• --full-screen — full-screen the terminal window. IMMERSIVE. no distractions. just vibes 🖥️✨
• --focus-window — focus the existing window. hey. hey bestie. look over here. 👀
• --window-style=WINDOW_STYLE — override the preferred window style. the following styles are supported:
  • normal — normal window look. the classic. the standard. she ate and left no crumbs 🍓
  • disable-csd — do not show client side decorations.
  • disable-csd-hide-toolbar — do not show client side decorations and toolbar. double removal, double slay ✂️
  • borderless — do not show window borders. no walls. no boundaries. free her 🦋
• --new-process — start an additional Tilix instance as a new process. so here's the lore: by default, and as per GTK+ version 3 guidelines, Tilix maintains a single process that all windows belong to. this option forces Tilix to start as a separate process.

⚠️ this is not recommended and is only intended for debugging purposes. its use will prevent different Tilix windows from communicating with each other. so like, you can do it, but they stop talking to each other and that's kind of sad ngl 😭💔

• --geometry=GEOMETRY — set the window size. for example: 80x24, or 80x24+200+200 (COLSxROWS+X+Y). she comes with measurements bestie, very specific of her 📐
• -q, --quake — open a window in Quake mode, or toggle existing Quake mode window visibility. drop-down terminal realness 🌩️✨
• --preferences — show the Tilix preferences dialog directly. no detours, straight to the settings 💅
• --display=DISPLAY — use the specified X display.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

None. literally nothing else. she's self-sufficient. she's her own SEE ALSO. periodt 💜
