Split terminals #271

Open rmad17 opened 7 years ago

First of appreciating the hard work for all the contributors to make such an awesome terminal. However, it would be nicer for power users if a split terminal functionality like terminator can be added.

You can use tmux for that. No need to add complexity to a drop down terminal like tilda.

Give Yakuake drop down a try it includes split terminals feature.

nicolasdanelon commented 7 years ago

please add a multiplexer

zebpalmer commented 7 years ago

yes please.

I love yakuake, but I'm growing tired of KDE and I really don't want to install all the kde deps when running gnome just to run yakuake. Just discovered tilda and love it. Well, I did, right up until the point that I tried to split screens.

I'm not sure how everyone else uses their drop down terminals, but my use cases require split screens in my terminal. And yes, tmux works, but being native in app is a much friendlier and faster work flow. If tmux were the answer to this request, why does tilda have tabs?

My favorite solution is to set the option to run a custom command, and have it drop to default shell if the command exits, with the following as the custom command: tmux new-session -A -s tilda

This allows me to keep a persistent tmux session, even if I have to restart X or what have you. It also allows me to attach to this session with tmux att -t tilda when I ssh in from elsewhere to continue working where I do most of my work anyways, in Tilda. :)
