mzr

minimal GTK+/VTE-based terminal emulator

installation

dependencies

• C11 compiler (gcc 4.7+, clang 3.6+)
• largely POSIX 2008 compatible environment
• GTK+3, Glib, Pango, VTE 2.91 (runtime and development headers)
• GNU make
• pkg-config

...

$ git clone https://github.com/muffindrake/mzr
$ cd mzr
$ su -c "make install"

usage

The program accepts a few option arguments:

• -v to print version and exit
• -x to execute a command, taking a single argument
• -t to set terminal title
• -g to set initial terminal extents (columnsxrows), but not position
• -f to set the terminal font with a pango font family definition ("[font family] [point size]")
• -d to set the working directory for the terminal

Otherwise, if -x is not used, the remaining arguments are used as a command to execute inside the terminal. To pass non-option arguments that start with a dash (-), use a double-dash argument (--) prior to any arguments you wish to pass. The terminal lets you select text using left-click-and-drag which is copied to the clipboard.

configuration

Colors and some initial settings can be set at compile-time by editing config.h to your liking - basic C knowledge is required.

This work is largely based upon sakura which is yet another GTK+/VTE-based terminal, but offers a lot of features that the author found largely useless and/or downright dangerous (clicking links to open them). As such, this program is significantly more minimal.
