Tilix terminal configuration
Table of Contents
A good shell environment is quite important for completing various tasks. In Linux most of the advanced commands, scripts are done in a shell environment. I have searched for a good terminal so that I can perform various activities with ease. After considering various terminals like Terminator[1], Tmux[2] and others, I have final found the tool I was looking for.
Tilix [3] had most of the features I was looking for like hot key assignment of various commands and it had a very flexible user interface so that I can start with a minimal but make a complex by adding more tabs or splitting the terminals into various window. Moreover, I could assign various color scheme in every section so that I can kind of understand that that section should do.
I have changed a lot of configurations in Tilix and now sharing with the community so that maybe someone else will be also benefited from it.
To export all the configurations:
dconf dump /com/gexperts/Tilix/ > tilix.conf
If we look into the configuration we will see the following.
