Overall it's a great terminal. A stand-alone terminal along with a quake-style dropdown is an excellent feature. It's easy to use, looks good, and handles splits and sessions well. There are only a couple of things I don't like about it: it's not compatible with w3m-img, nor does it tile properly with my window manager.

This is, by far, the best tiling terminal emulator that I've found for working with VMs and containers. A great help.

What is Tilix?

Tilix is a tiling terminal emulator which uses the VTE GTK+ 3 widget with the following features:

  • Layout terminals in any fashion by splitting them horizontally or vertically.
  • Terminals can be re-arranged using drag and drop both within and between windows.
  • Terminals can be detached into a new window via drag and drop.
  • Input can be synchronized between terminals so commands typed in one terminal are replicated to the others.
  • The grouping of terminals can be saved and loaded from disk.
  • Terminals support custom titles.
  • Color schemes are stored in files and custom color schemes can be created by simply creating a new file.
  • Transparent background.
  • Supports notifications when processes are completed out of view. Requires the Fedora notification patches for VTE.
