VTE is aGTK widget that is designed to create virtual terminal emulators.GNOME Terminal,ROXTerm andevilvte are a few examples of terminal emulators that use the VTE widget. With the case of kermit, although it is a "yet another" VTE implementation, it aims to keep everything simple and customizable while providing some additional features.

The project is inspired byVincent Bernat'sarticle and also hisimplementation of a custom VTE-based terminal. Terminal features and appearance are mostly influenced byRxvt,termite andst.

*kermit depends onvte3 andgtk3 packages.

• Uses the default shell ($SHELL)
• Supports transparency with a composite manager (such ascompton)
• Supports base16 color schemes (customizable theme)
• Supports custom keys and associated commands
• Supports tabs

kermit [-h] [-v] [-d] [-c config] [-t title] [-w workdir] [-e command][-h] shows help[-v] shows version[-d] enables the debug messages[-c config]  specifies the configuration file[-t title]   sets the terminal title[-w workdir] sets the working directory[-e command] sets the command to execute in terminal

The default modifiers (ctrl +alt) can be set toctrl +shift using the config file.Key bindings can be overridden by custom key bindings.SeeConfiguration / Key Bindings for more information.

Most of the settings including font, opacity and colors can be changed via the config file. The default configuration file is availablehere.

kermit looks for configuration file in~/.config/kermit.conf

The terminal theme can be changed by either editing the config file manually or using thebase16 color schemes inorhun/base16-kermit repository.

kermit uses aPangoFontDescription which is retrieved from thekermit.conf for changing the font family, style and size. The configuration entry format of the font and some examples are shown below and the default value ismonospace 9.

font [FAMILY-LIST] [STYLE-OPTIONS] [SIZE]

FAMILY-LIST is a comma-separated list of families optionally terminated by a comma,STYLE_OPTIONS is a whitespace-separated list of words where each WORD describes one of style, variant, weight, or stretch, andSIZE is a decimal number (size in points).

• Available font families:Normal, Sans, Serif and Monospace.• Available styles:Normal, Oblique, Italic.• Available weights:Ultra-Light, Light, Normal, Bold,Ultra-Bold, Heavy.• Available variants:Normal, Small-Caps.• Available stretch styles:Ultra-Condensed, Extra-Condensed, Condensed, Semi-Condensed, Normal, Semi-Expanded, Expanded, Extra-Expanded, Ultra-Expanded.

Examples:

font sans bold 12font normal 10font monospace bold italic condensed 12

Custom keys and associated commands can be specified with the configuration file. An example entry is availablehere and entry format is shown below.

bind/bindx/bindi [KEY]~"[COMMAND]"

• bind:Send command to the terminal.
• bindx:Send command to the terminal and execute.
• bindi:Execute internal command

Examples:

bindx f~"df -h"bind r~"rm -i "bind p~"ps aux | grep "bind k~"kill -9 "bindi c~"copy"

Currently available internal commands (bindi):

• copy: copy to clipboard
• paste: paste from clipboard
• reload-config: reload config
• default-config: load default config
• new-tab: open new tab
• exit: exit kermit
• inc-font-size: increase font size by 1
• dec-font-size: decrease font size by 1
• default-font-size: reset font size to default
• next-tab: go to next tab
• prev-tab: go to previous tab
• close-tab: close current tab
• new-window: open new window with same working directory (requiresvte.sh).

In order to change the padding of the terminal, create~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css if it does not exist, specify the values there and restart the terminal.

VteTerminal,TerminalScreen,vte-terminal {padding:3px2px2px1px;}

The command below can be used to create the both configuration files.

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/orhun/kermit/master/.config/kermit.conf --output~/.config/kermit.conf&& \printf"VteTerminal,\nTerminalScreen,\nvte-terminal {\n\tpadding: 3px 2px 2px 1px;\n}\n">~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
