Tilix 1.5.8 is now available with a number of new features and
bug fixes. For those unfamiliar with Tilix, it is a tiling
terminal emulator for Linux written in D using GTK3. It attempts
to follow the Gnome Human Interface Guidelines as closely as
possible. More information about Tilix is available here:
https://gnunn1.github.io/tilix-web
One word of caution, this version of Tilix has been upgraded to
using PCRE2 for regular expressions when the VTE version
indicates it is supported. Unfortunately Ubuntu 17.10 removed
this functionality from VTE and hence Tilix is broken on 17.10
until Ubuntu patches Tilix in their distribution. See issue
[#916](https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/issues/916) for more
information.
Other notable changes for this release include:
* Can detach sessions by dragging them off the sidebar to the
desktop. Can re-attach sessions by dragging them from the sidebar
to another tilix window
* Can re-order sessions via drag and drop in sidebar or by using
ctrl-pgup or ctrl-pagedn
* If ctrl-c is assigned to the copy shortcut, tilix is smart
enough to only copy when text is selected otherwise normal
interrupt is passed
* Window state is now restored on new launch, i.e. if window is
maximized and closed it will be maximized when new instance is
launched
* Added new variable for titles at session scope for active
terminal title
* Added support for GTK active CSS style to enable better styling
of terminal titlebars
* Added support for pending VTE hyperlink functionality (#904)
As always, any D developers interested in contributing to Tilix
are more then welcome to do so. Feel free to contact me if
interested.
