When I compile the newest git version of germinal, I got a error "Makefile: 1612: *** missing separator. Stop.". I have not problem in compiling Germinal-14. So I guess than there may be an error or my version of tools are not right.

The corresponding part of Makefile looks like:

%.xml: %.xml.in $(INTLTOOL_MERGE) ; $(INTLTOOL_V_MERGE)LC_ALL=C $(INTLTOOL_MERGE) $(INTLTOOL_V_MERGE_OPTIONS) -x -u --no-translations $< $@

@APPSTREAM_XML_RULES@
%.xml: %.xml.in $(INTLTOOL_MERGE) $(wildcard $(top_srcdir)/po/*.po) ; $(INTLTOOL_V_MERGE)LC_ALL=C $(INTLTOOL_MERGE) $(INTLTOOL_V_MERGE_OPTIONS) -x -u -c $(top_builddir)/po/.intltool-merge-cache $(top_srcdir)/po $< $@
.dbus.in.service:
@ $(MKDIR_P) data/dbus
$(AM_V_GEN) $(SED)
-e 's,[@]bindir[@],$(bindir),g'
<$^ >$@

%.desktop: %.desktop.in $(INTLTOOL_MERGE) $(wildcard $(top_srcdir)/po/*.po) ; $(INTLTOOL_V_MERGE)LC_ALL=C $(INTLTOOL_MERGE) $(INTLTOOL_V_MERGE_OPTIONS) -d -u -c $(top_builddir)/po/.intltool-merge-cache $(top_srcdir)/po $&lt; $@
.desktop.in.in.desktop.in:
@ $(MKDIR_P) data/desktop
$(AM_V_GEN) $(SED)
-e 's,[@]bindir[@],$(bindir),g'
<$^ >$@

I see that $(INTLTOOL_MERGE)... etc should in a new started line with hard table.
But I'm not sure about what is @APPSTREAM_XML_RULES@

The version of my tools
intltoolize (GNU intltool) 0.51.0
autoconf autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69
Let me know if I can further help

Best regards,

I do not know if ZSH can search scrollback history on its own, but I do know that tmux handles it.

Since I'm not using tmux on every germinal instance, could it be possible to implement a germinal scrollback search feature ?

I'm discovering germinal and found it pretty cool and so low on resources that it would perfectly fit in my day to day usecase.

Any way to add a solarized color scheme to germinal in dconf?

I'm crawled some but haven't found anything yet.

How about adding a quick Doc on this point?

Thanks again for this great piece of software

I switched to Germinal full-time since I discovered it has the killer urxvt feature that was missing from Termite: client/daemon mode, all new terminal shells spawn as child of Germinal making it more lightweight.

I must say that I use Geminal with 'zsh' as startup command since I find tmux redundant with my tiling wm sway, launching tmux only on long-running processes and remote applications.

However I just found out than when I kill a terminal window using sway (sending a SITINT and a SIGTERM), the window closes but the zsh subprocess keeps on living as a zombie, keeping whatever program running at the time running and consuming ressources.

Hi Keruspe (happy new year btw),

As you know, I've been using Germinal for a while now with just "zsh" as startup-command. I've got some integration missing with my file manager, PCManFM: This program has a "Open current folder in terminal" feature but it does not work in Germinal, always opening a new window on $HOME.
I'm looking for a way to make this feature work.

I tried adding Germinal to the list of terminals here: https://github.com/lxde/libfm/blob/master/data/terminals.list

But Germinal lack the -exec and -hold flag that most terminals have, since it's a minimal wrapper that transfer almost everything to the startup-command AFAIK.

I also played around with zsh parameters, without success yet.

Would you have any idea how this could be achievable ?

It would be good it colorscheme could be read from something like ~/.Xresources or even better something like ~/.config/germinal/colors/schemename without the need to recompile.

Also would be good to be able to set font families, sizes, etc...

Thoughts?

Hi,

I tried switching to Germinal as my main terminal emulator, replacing termite.
I'm missing a feature though: I disabled bold and italic characters, printed as normal characters.

Is such a thing achievable via either a Germinal or tmux config ?

There is no --version flag. When i try germinal --help, there is no option to print the version. Could be good to add one ;)

Germinal v17 introduces a "bug" on i3wm: the window becomes borderless which is confusing when having several terminals on the same workspace.

After comparing v16 and v17 it appears that the behavior comes from the fix introduced by e60c537. This commit has, in fact, fixed another issue: gtk_window_set_decorated (win, FALSE) was ignored because it was called after gtk_widget_show_all.

Could you please add a config option to prevent Germinal from disabling decoration?

Would be cool to define the default shell in dconf, in addition to giving it when starting germinal.

I've been using Germinal as my main terminal emulator for quite some time now. Thank you for this great project!

One thing That I'm missing from the old Gnome Terminal/Tmux config is the ability to update the window title with the session name. I have this config on my tmux.conf file

# Terminal emulator window titles
set -g set-titles on
set -g set-titles-string "#H-#S"

Any way to get this working again?

Hi Keruspe,

It's been a while since the url opening feature does not work anymore, can't seem to figure out why.
Here's the setup:
Archlinux, Sway wm (wayland, wlroots), Firefox running on Wayland.

env vars:
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
BROWSER=firefox

Neither Shift+click nor right-click -> open url opens the url

• Typing manually firefox http://url.fr works
• xdg-open http://url.fr works

Worth a thousand words !

Despite the last commits addressing this specific issue, if dbus user sessions are not enabled, new panes and windows in tmux (ie not the first one automatically started with the tmux session) still start with / as the current working directory.

Currently Germinal is configured via Gsettings and it works well with instantaneous changes of the config.

But for those of us not running the GNOME stack (sway in my case but any tiling wm is the same) and/or managing our dotfiles via git so it can be easily shared accross machines, a simple config file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Germinal/config would be awesome.

The logic could be: Use Gsettings if no config file is present, override if present.
