KKTerminal is a simple small terminal emulator for gtk2/3.
Features: Single instance app, but can be launced in a new instance by using the '-m' switch.
Examples: Open new instance of kkterminal and list the contents of '/' kkterminal -m --command="ls /"
Open /usr and / in new tabs in running copy of kkterminal kkterminal --new-tab=/usr --new-tab=/
Open new instance of kkterminal at pos 100,200 with width=800 and height=400 kkterminal -m -x 100 -y 200 -w 800 -g 400
Bring kkterminal to front ( or start if not running ) kkterminal
Open a new tab, then run the rest of the command line in a new tab kkterminal --tab -e man kkterminal
Supports drag'n'drop of files onto tab to paste single quoted filepath. supports drag'n'drop of text into window ( no quoting ).
Background/forground colours are set in the prefs file here: ~/.KKTerminal/kkterminal.rc
You can choose to display icons or not in the menus ( in gtk3 ) by setting iconsinmenu 1 in the prefs file.
Prefs used so far: forecol white backcol black windowsize 1311 345 382 1142 font Monospace 10 showmbar 1 iconsinmenu 1
Prefs can now be set from the preferences menu, changes to colours take effect on new shells, changes to menu icons ( gtk3 only ) take place on restart. More prefs to come!
The idea of this is to have a small USABLE terminal emulator without all the bloat of other emulators, suggestions, bug reports etc welecome, send to: keithhedger@keithhedger.darktech.org Webpage here: http://khapplications.darktech.org/pages/kkterminal/kkterminal.html
