NOTE: This project was mostly an exercise on how to make the leanest possible terminal emulator using GTK+2 and VTE. It is not actively developed.

T is a lean Terminal emulator. The project aims to keep it as simple as possible, while still being usable. Configuration is done by modifying the file config.h and recompiling. In order to use T, you must first run it as a daemon (-d option) and then send commands by running the same executable using other options. This was done so that the resource usage is (somewhat) minimized by keeping all terminals under the same process while new windows are opened (somewhat) faster.

T has the following compilation dependencies. The versions are the ones used to develop T, but it will probably work with any API-compatible version.

• VTE 0.28
• GTK+ 2.24

To compile T, run

make

To install T, run (needs superuser privileges)

make install

T is invoked as

T [ARG]

where ARG is one of the arguments in the following table.
